Daymond John Says He Thinks Las Vegas Will Rebound From Decline Eventually

Daymond John says Las Vegas has taken a big hit recently … but, hotels and casinos in the area may just hit the jackpot with a new game plan and a fortuitous schedule next year.

We caught up with the “Shark Tank” star on “TMZ Live” Friday … and, we talked about Sin City’s well-documented downturn … with many avoiding the city because of high prices.

John tells us the USA isn’t as welcoming as it used to be … which he thinks could be leading to a decline in international tourism to the area. Plus, the younger generation isn’t drinking as much … so, there’s less incentive to go to a place like L.V.

As for frequent visitors to the city … Daymond says they might be feeling the pinch of higher prices and more economic uncertainty … and, they’re less inclined to go to a place where the most popular activity is throwing money down the drain.

John admits Vegas’ recent initiatives — slashing hotel prices and waiving resort fees — will likely help the situation … and, so will the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in the U.S., Mexico and Canada.

The World Cup will bring people to America, Daymond says … and, even though Vegas isn’t hosting any games, he thinks it’s a good time for these hotels and casinos to convince people who are already traveling to the States to extend their stay and hit the slots!
