Canadian travel to Las Vegas continues to crater amid U.S. President Donald Trump’s attacks on Canada, and the tourism slump in Sin City has become a major midterm election issue.
Nevada Democrats are trying to capitalize on the decline, blaming Trump’s trade war and threats toward Canada — the state’s largest source of international tourists.
