Stateline’s gaming numbers for August were the bright spot for the state, with the win being 32.64 percent higher than a year ago at $28.4 million.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board on Sept. 26 released the numbers that show statewide the take was down 3.66 percent to $920.2 million.

This was the first statewide drop since February. Officials say high-end baccarat contributed to the decline.

    Glad to see a significant increase in the Stateline’s gaming numbers. Of course, most of last August the basin was filled with smoke from nearby fires which caused a drop in tourists visiting the area.

    And that’s without the remodeled Horizon being open.

    I heard one of the Outdoor Concert headliners lost several million himself. Any truth?

    I heard Bruno Mars is the one who lost a ton. And while that’s a good trend line, worth noting that Labor Day Sat., giving Aug. a fifth Sat., played a part in the increase.

    How much did you all make from the increase ? . . .

    It must have been the new carpet, after 20 years, that sparked the excitement. . .
