But the gamblers gave the sportsbooks a beating in October as the state only collected $29.8 million off three quarters of a billion dollars in wagers. Sports bettors wagered a record $728.6 million on football, beating the last wager record of $502 million set in November 2020. There is still room to grow as the convention schedule is still down compared to 2019 and international travel is soft. The Vegas recovery is driven by domestic gamblers. “I never expected eight months in a row, but there’s nothing we’re hearing that’s going to change the trajectory and the activity on the gaming floor,” says Lawton. When asked if he thinks Nevada can beat the eight-month record, Lawton is positive. The only other month in the state’s history that Clark County recorded $1 billion in gambling revenue prior to this five-month rally was October 2007. October marked the fifth month out of the last six months that Clark County brought in $1 billion. Clark County, which includes The Strip, Downtown, Henderson and other areas, brought in $1 billion out of the state’s total $1.2 billion.
