Sin City tourism slump signals wider economic slowdown
Tourism is down by roughly 11% in Las Vegas this year, with visitor numbers, convention attendance and hotel occupancy all lower than usual, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. Why it matters: Las Vegas' financial health, with its large gambling market attractive to those with disposable income, is typically considered an indicator of the broader U.S. economy's strength. The lower numbers, released last week, come alongside President Trump's escalating trade war that has frustrated travelers and a broader decline in international tourism to the U.S. By the numbers: The destination experienced an 11% year over year decline in visitation, seeing roughly 400,000 fewer visitors in June of 2025, when compared to June of 2024. Context: More broadly, international spending in the U.S. tourism market is expected to fall by $12.5 billion this year, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council, a UK-based organization that researches the global tourism industry. The projection estimated the industry will make $169 billion this year, down from $181 billion in 2024. The shortfall reflects a 22.5% drop compared to the previous peak. What they're saying: "This is a wake-up call for the U.S. government," Julia Simpson, president of the World Travel & Tourism Council, said in a statement. "While other nations are rolling out the welcome mat, the U.S. government is putting up the 'closed' sign," she added. The Trump administration did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment. Zoom out: The president's trade war and its frequently changing deadlines have helped alienate traditional American allies, as Axios' Emily Peck previously reported.

Saudi Arabian PIF plans to open three new courses, with one LIV golfer involved in design
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund – best known by its acronym PIF and the owner/operator of LIV Golf – has announced plans to build three new golf courses over the next three years in the desert country. One LIV golfer, a former U.S. Open champion, will be involved in the design of one of the courses. There are a handful of golf courses in Saudi Arabia now, and the PIF said in a press release to announce the three new courses that the country plans to triple its total courses in the next few years. The first of the three new courses will be Shura Links on Shura Island alongside the Red Sea. The release said that American-based Curley-Wagner Design signed on to lay out the course, which will play to a par of 72 at 7,601 yards. That course is slated to open in September of 2025. Trojena Northern Golf Course will be the second of the new three courses. Located in the Sarwat Mountains, this mountain-top course will be laid out by McDowell & Dusenberry Design, which includes Northern Irishman Graeme McDowell, currently a LIV golfer and winner of the 2010 U.S. Open. An opening date has not been announced. The third of the new three layouts will be Laheq Golf Course near the Red Sea. Curley-Wagner design also will lay out this course, with an estimated opening in 2028. Plans for all three courses will be shown as part of a PIF Future Fairways display at the PIF Championship on the LET Tour at Centurion Club in London on Aug. 8-10, at the Aramco Houston Championship as part of the PIF Global Series on Sept. 5-7, and at the Aramco Shenzhen Championship at Mission Hills in China on Nov. 6-8. The display will include 3D mapping and simulators.

4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: August 8
Every Friday, our editors compile a trusty list of recommendations to answer the most pressing of questions: 'Where should I eat?' Here now are four places to check out this weekend in Los Angeles. And if you need some ideas on where to drink, here's our list of the hottest places to get cocktails in town. For sushi straight from Tokyo: Sushi Zanmai in Koreatown For sushi straight from Tokyo: Sushi Zanmai in Koreatown. Tokyo-based Sushi Zanmai landed in the U.S. for the first time last week, opening a location in Koreatown's Chapman Market. The grand opening was a veritable scene, with owner Kiyoshi Kimura slicing into a 500-pound tuna on site and distributing slices of ruby-red fish. A day later, it was business as usual with a steady flow of customers digging into plates of sushi, sashimi, karaage, and more. It's nice to have a more casual sushi spot in the neighborhood, especially with its late-ish night hours extending until midnight. The price point is workable for a more casual meal, and the fish is exceptionally fresh. Make sure to say hello to the statue of Kimura on the way in. 3465 W. Sixth Street, Suite 150, Los Angeles, CA 90020. — Rebecca Roland, deputy editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest For Cambodian noodles that settle the soul: Phnom Penh Noodle Shack in Long Beach For Cambodian noodles that settle the soul: Phnom Penh Noodle Shack in Long Beach Lille Allen As an LA resident with a soft spot for Long Beach, the beach city is where I head for a full day of hanging out. When plotting this type of excursion, bring a change of clothes, a bike or rollerskates, sunscreen, and always consider where to eat. After taking ample time on the Shoreline Pedestrian Bikepath, head over to a Cambodian restaurant. Long Beach has the largest Cambodian population outside of Southeast Asia, which includes a concentration of longtime respected operators like Phnom Penh Noodle Shack. The restaurant opens at 7 a.m., because there is nothing like a full-on noodle breakfast of kuy teav, which takes hours to prepare with pork, beef, and noodles prepared on-site. When entering Phnom Penh Noodle Shack, take a big inhale. The scents of the simmering broths, herbs, chiles, and everything else will fill your nose before taking in one of the best bowls of noodles in the Southland. Customize each dish with the spices, soy, or fish sauce, and the meal will be one of the most delicious and reasonably priced. 1644 Cherry Avenue, Long Beach, CA. — Mona Holmes, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest For a pre-Hispanic Indigenous food experience in the heart of Historic South Central: Komal For a pre-Hispanic Indigenous food experience in the heart of Historic South Central: Komal. Wonho Frank Lee Komal opened at Mercado la Paloma in summer 2024 from Fátima Juárez and Conrado Rivera, who previously worked at Michelin-starred Mexican seafood restaurant Holbox in the same marketplace. Their menu focuses on heirloom corn sourced directly from Indigenous Mexican farmers, with dishes like tlacoyos and quesadillas de flor de calabaza. There's no wrong way to go here, but no table might be complete without quesillo-stuffed fried plantain orbs bedded in an earthy black mole; fatty meat-lovers might not leave without juicy suadero tacos. Wash it all down with a cactus-cucumber agua fresca or guava soda, and watch as the market activity accelerates around you — the meal a stop-motion moment amid the action. 3655 S. Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90007. — Nicole Adlman, cities manager For a dreamy evening in Buenos Aires with the best steak in Los Angeles: Carlitos Gardel For a dreamy evening in Buenos Aires with the best steak in Los Angeles: Carlitos Gardel. Matthew Kang It's been a very tough week at Eater, one of the most difficult in recent memory, and my heart goes out to current and former colleagues. This will be the last weekend recommendation that I write as the lead editor of Eater Los Angeles, Southern California, and the greater Southwest. In 2014, I was given the opportunity by my then editor, Kat Odell, to take over her position as she moved to New York for a video-oriented role. I had never written professionally before, only working as a bank analyst and small business owner prior to the job, and writing a local food blog called Mattatouille. In the past 11 years, editing and writing for Eater has been the greatest joy of my working life, covering the restaurant scene in Los Angeles, the only place I have ever lived — and the best damn city in the world. For many years, my former colleague and deputy editor Farley Elliott told me that I really needed to go to one of his favorite LA restaurants, Carlitos Gardel, a charming alcove of a steakhouse that's easy to pass by along Melrose Avenue. Last year, I finally went with my friend Bill Esparza, where we drank copious amounts of vintage Malbec and took town cut after cut of expertly grilled beef. As the son of Brazilian Korean immigrants and a huge churrasco aficionado, the thought of enjoying Argentine steak felt not just strange, but revolting. Little did I know that the pleasures of Argentine food — flaky, cheesy empanadas; herbaceous and mouthwatering chimichurri; paper-thin beef carpaccio topped with wispy arugula and parmesan cheese; and prodigious beef like entraña (skirt) and rib-eye cap charred to perfection — portrayed a type of hedonism that I had previously not experienced. Co-owner and sommelier Max Bozoghlian is a consummate host, classy and professional, and probably the best maitre'd in Los Angeles; his brother/co-owner and chef, Gerard Bozoghlian, is so passionate about the restaurant that he practically lives there. Together they continue the tradition their parents, and especially their mother Azniv, who was behind most of the recipes, started in 1996. I could go on and on about Carlitos Gardel, and I thank Farley for finally showing me the way. The evening meanders through Argentine specialties and ends with incredible desserts — peach dulce de leche meringue cake, housemade ice cream, and fluffy marcarpone tart — a sweet way to cap off my current most beloved restaurant in Los Angeles. Two nights ago, before the difficult news dropped to our company, I was at Carlitos Gardel repeating the motions of my routine there, chatting with Gerard in the back patio, and smoking a fine cigar until well past midnight. It was an appropriate coda. I'm signing off as the day-to-day editor of Eater Los Angeles and moving onto a correspondent role covering the West Coast, so I'll pop up regularly with stories and social media videos. Whatever you do, 'always order extra for the table.' 7963 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90046. — Matthew Kang, correspondent, Eater Related The 38 Best Restaurants in Los Angeles Eater LA All your essential food and restaurant intel delivered to you Email (required) Sign Up By submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice .
