By Brian K. Miller

Statewide, casino revenue fell 14% to $981.1 million, the largest year-over-year decline since January 2002, according to UBS Investment Research.
The declines were offset by a 20% increase in Strip gambling revenue in October and the fact that gambling revenue from November 2006 was 22% higher than November 2005. Casinos stocks fell on Friday, as did the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
Visitor statistics for November have not yet been released. In October, visitation was essentially unchanged from the previous October at 3.4 million. Year-to-date, visitation is up 0.8%, Strip gaming revenue is up 2.49% and statewide gaming revenue is up 1.43%.
In Clark County as a whole, gaming revenue fell 16.26% in November, but remained up 2% for the year." .....
