Stateline casino revenue keeps declining

Stateline casinos were a drain on the overall July gaming revenue numbers for Nevada.

July is often a good month for Stateline because of tourists coming to town for Fourth of July and the American Century Championship. With schools starting in August, it is now considered the busiest summer month for the area.

Compared to 2013, the South Shore casinos were down 22 percent to $25 million.

North Shore casinos were up slightly last month compared to the prior year at $3.5 million – a 5.3 percent increase.

The $931 million win for the state was a 0.65 increase from July 2013, the Nevada Gaming Control Board said Aug. 28.
