Las Vegas hotels and tourism officials are rolling out aggressive Canada-focused promotions after Canadian visits fell about 18% in 2025, or roughly 250,000 travelers.

MGM is marketing a $330 all-inclusive stay for two at Luxor and Excalibur, while Air Canada is offering 35% off select Las Vegas flight-and-hotel packages through Sept. 28.
