House Republicans Begin Uphill Effort to Sell Tax Law to Voters
House Republicans on Friday waded carefully into a public relations push aimed at selling their party's sweeping domestic policy bill to skeptical voters, traveling to Las Vegas for a hearing highlighting tax cuts that polls show are among its few popular provisions. Gathering at the Las Vegas warehouse of an electronic sign company, Republicans on the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee highlighted President Trump's new policies to eliminate taxes on some tip income and overtime pay, arguing that the legislation would help ordinary Americans and generate economic growth. The new tax cuts will provide 'more money in people's pockets, better jobs in their communities and a strong and prosperous America,' said Representative Jason Smith of Missouri, the Republican chairman of the committee, as the letters 'OT' glowed in fire-engine red on a sign across the way, a nod to the newly favorable tax treatment of overtime wages. Yet even as Republicans called attention to the selling points of the bill, which they backed almost unanimously this month, the event pointed to the challenges of pitching legislation that public surveys show is deeply unpopular. It came at the start of a five-week-long summer House recess that could be a prime opportunity for the G.O.P. to promote its marquee legislative achievement. But Republicans are also keenly aware of the political risks of holding freewheeling gatherings with voters that could devolve into gripe sessions about the law. The hearing was orchestrated instead to accentuate the positive points of the measure, with a slate of witnesses invited by Republicans — including a server at an Italian restaurant and a food delivery driver — there to testify to how they might benefit. Patrick Wrona, the server, said he had 'severe appreciation' for the bill's change to how tipped workers are taxed. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

The real reasons Las Vegas is losing visitors
Las Vegas is experiencing a notable downturn in tourism, with hotel occupancy, visitor numbers and spending all slipping. Industry data points to several key reasons behind the shift, including rising costs, fewer international travellers, and broader economic uncertainties. Drop in international visitors and hotel occupancy According to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, hotel occupancy dropped to just 66.7% in early July—a sharp fall from the previous year—and international visitor numbers plunged by more than 13% in June alone. Domestic arrivals also fell by around 6.5%, and traffic through Harry Reid International Airport declined nearly 4% overall. Soaring prices and hidden resort fees Tourists are increasingly deterred by the high cost of visiting. Reports highlight eye-watering prices such as $33 bagels and $26 bottles of water, onerous parking and resort fees, and surprise charges for early check-ins and basic amenities. One visitor remarked people felt they were 'getting taken for a ride' as nickel-and-dimed pricing became widespread. Economic anxiety and geopolitical factors Rising inflation, economic instability and geopolitical tensions are impacting consumer confidence. Experts link this to what's been dubbed the 'Trump slump' in tourism, marked by tariffs, strained international relations, and increased visa fees for visitors to the US. Senator Jacky Rosen also warned of an 8% drop in international visits, partially blamed on travel deterrents like aggressive immigration policies. Why is travel to Las Vegas dropping? The slide in Las Vegas tourism is tied to multiple factors. The sharp decrease in overseas visitors—who typically stay longer and spend more—is a major blow. Convention traffic remains strong, up about 10%, but leisure travel has softened, with weekday hotel occupancy dipping below trend. This suggests that while business visitors help, they can't fully compensate for falling vacation travel. How pricing is pushing visitors away As Las Vegas pivots towards a luxury model with high-end entertainment and premium resort offerings, many mid-range travellers are being left behind. Massive mark-ups on everyday items and hidden fees have led to visitor backlash. One analyst called it a 'gouge,' resonating with comments from tourists fed up with resort extractions before even entering the casino floor. Economic headwinds and policy hurdles Beyond prices, macroeconomic concerns are curbing travel budgets. Economists forecast a slow contraction in gaming revenue as discretionary income tightens. Meanwhile, visa integrity fees of $250 for non‑visa waiver visitors and global travel restrictions have discouraged inbound tourism. Ultimately, Las Vegas is at a crossroads. The iconic city is losing some of its broad appeal due to high costs and international travel hurdles. Without adjustments to pricing strategies and efforts to re–engage mid‑market and overseas visitors, the decline in tourism could deepen—even if larger-scale conventions remain robust.
