With no February 2016 having one more day than this year, last month’s Nevada casino revenues fell.

The decline was felt across the board, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority Tuesday. 

It was the first year-over-year decline since October and the steepest drop since a 6.3 percent decline in June 2009.

Nevada’s state gaming win in February was down from a year ago in 18 of the 19 markets it tracks with total of $945.6 million, off 4.5 percent from February 2016

Overall visitor volume was down 5.5 percent to 3.1 million people.
