goncharovaia/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Casinos in Nevada saw gaming win increase 14% in December to more than $1.31B, according to an update from the Nevada Gaming Control Board. Las Vegas Strip casinos accounted for $814M of the monthly tally, which was up 25% from the level a year ago. An increase in group and convention business during the month and events like Raiders home football games, a college bowl game, the Pac 12 football championship, and a national rodeo event all helped bring extra traffic to Las Vegas in December.
