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.

Gamblers wagered $12.5 billion on table games, slots and sports bets in May.
