LAS VEGAS (Associated Press) - State officials say Nevada gambling revenue was virtually flat in November compared with the same month a year ago. Nevada Gaming Control Board officials reported Tuesday that the state's casinos brought in a little more than $876 million in November.
That was up less than one-tenth of a percent from November 2013. Las Vegas Strip gambling revenues of $508 million were down 4 percent year-over-year, while downtown revenue of $43 million was up 13 percent.
Reno casino revenue was down less than 1 percent to $43 million, and South Lake Tahoe gambling revenues plunged 30 percent to $12 million in November.
The state collected $47 million in taxes based on the November winnings, which is down 5 percent from the same time last year.
