Nevada residents Lani and Michael told Fox News Digital that they perceive that tourism is down during the week.
"During the weekends, it's actually pretty crowded," said Lani. "We come down to the Strip quite a bit. A lot of locals don't, but we as a family like to come down and walk around and kind of people-watch and just get our steps in."
She added, "We're still seeing lots of full casinos and lots of traffic."

He joked that there are benefits to having friends who live in the area.
"If you get your friend to book under their name or whatever, you can stay in the hotels, no resort fees, no parking fees - none of that stuff," said Harrison.
