Las Vegas Mayor Shelley Berkley issued a heartfelt plea to Canadian visitors this week, acknowledging the city’s tourism-dependent economy is suffering from a dramatic decline in international visitors, particularly from Canada, which represents the city’s largest international market.

“As the mayor of Las Vegas, I’m telling everybody in Canada, please come. We love you, we need you, and we miss you,” Berkley said during a press conference this week, where she addressed the multiple challenges facing the entertainment capital’s tourism industry.

The mayor’s latest comments echo concerns she first raised in an August press conference, where she painted a stark picture of the tourism decline.

Even if Trump was gone, and the damage was repaired, it's so fucking expensive there now.

The only reason I'd go now is if there's something there I can't realistically see/do otherwise, or if the flights are so much cheaper to get there (and flights there can be cheap) that it makes up the cost of potentially seeing / doing that something elsewhere.

Otherwise, I've been there enough now, I don't need to go again.
