CARSON CITY — Casino gaming revenue was up 15.1 percent in February compared to the same month last year, while the Las Vegas Strip posted a record win of $956.4 million, up 31.1 percent.
“It was the highest win ever on the Strip,” said Michael Lawton, senior research analyst for the board. The board attributed the Strip record to this year’s Chinese New Year celebration, which attracted many big-money gamblers.
Statewide, casinos reported revenue of $1 billion in February, according to the Nevada Gaming Control Board. Since July, the start of the fiscal year, casino revenue statewide is up 2.2 percent, and taxes collected by the state were up 2.9 percent to $495.7 million.
