N'Oh Canada - Why The Great White North Is Giving Up On Vegas
Wednesday, 18 March, 2026
After a year-and-a-half away from the studio, I'm jumping back behind the mic for a special, one-off bonus episode of Jeff Does Vegas! If you’ve walked the Strip lately, you may have noticed a glaring lack of Canadian tourists. For decades, Canada has been Las Vegas's most reliable international ally, but over the last year, that pipeline has frozen almost completely solid. Let’s get one thing straight right off the top: I am not jumping on the clickbait "Vegas is dead" bandwagon. Vegas isn't dead. But the numbers don't lie, and the city is suffering a very real "death by a thousand cuts." Armed with hard data from the LVCVA, Harry Reid International Airport, Stats Canada, and international travel reports, I'm bringing the receipts to explain exactly why visitorship has plummeted. I'm busting the myth that Canadians are staying home just because of a weak dollar, and digging into the real reasons for the massive drop - from the fallout of unprecedented U.S. political rhetoric and border tariffs, to out-of-control Strip pricing, to insane nickel-and-diming of tourists, and the devastating reality of the "stealth layoffs" hitting the everyday hospitality workers who keep the city running.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
