Evaluating the Reach, Impact and Contributions of Nevada's Largest Industry - From Tax Revenue to Jobs and Everything In Between

The Nevada Resort Association represents Nevada’s resort and gaming industry and advocates for policies that support tourism, job creation and economic growth. Its annual Nevada Gaming Fact Book provides valuable insights into the industry’s contributions across the state. The 2025 edition shows that tourism generates $98 billion in economic activity, supports more than 436,000 jobs and helps fund vital public services and infrastructure. As the state’s leading industry, gaming and tourism continue to play a central role in Nevada’s long-term success.

Since 2007, Applied Analysis has partnered with the Nevada Resort Association to produce the state’s gaming fact book, offering a comprehensive look at the economic, fiscal and social contributions of Nevada’s resort and tourism industry. The 2025 Nevada Gaming Fact Book highlights that tourism generates $98 billion in economic output, supports more than 436,000 jobs and contributes $24.4 billion in wages, representing a significant share of the state’s GDP and employment. The report also demonstrates how the industry helps fund more than $2 billion in public services annually, lowers tax burdens for residents and drives critical investments in infrastructure, sustainability and workforce development. As Nevada maintains its position as a national leader in tourism and gaming, the Fact Book remains a trusted resource for policymakers, industry professionals and community partners.
