Mayweather-Pacquiao Fight Boosts Vegas Casino Revenues: $1 Bn Gambled
LAS VEGAS (Associated Press) — Huge crowds and high rollers in Las Vegas for the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight helped Nevada casinos make more than $1 billion off gamblers in May.
It was the first time casinos have hit that total in more than a year.
Nevada Gaming Control Board statistics released Friday show a 3.3 percent year-over-year increase in May. The bump came despite the loss of a Strip casino at the beginning of the month, when the Riviera Hotel and Casino shut down.
Gamblers wagered $12.5 billion on table games, slots and sports bets in May.
