Three casinos in Las Vegas are now accepting Canadian money at par.
Circa Resort and Casino, the D Las Vegas, and Golden Gate Hotel and Casino are launching a new "At Par" commitment that will treat Canadian dollars as U.S. dollars across select gaming, hotel, and beverages until August 31, 2026.
Under the At Par program, eligible Canadian guests receive $1 U.S. in value for every $1 Canadian dollar spent, regardless of daily exchange rates.
Canadian visitors to Las Vegas are down 20 per cent in 2025 compared to 2024, according to year-end statistics released by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
Tourism officials have been trying to entice Canadians back to Las Vegas, as the high exchange rate along with negative sentiments around tariff negotiations and comments by U.S. President Donald Trump about having Canada become the 51st state resulted in Canadian travellers avoiding travel to America or looking at other places to visit.
CEO of Circa, the D, and Golden Gate, Derek Stevens, says he was raised in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, and his home looked straight across the Detroit River toward Windsor, and he loved crossing the border as a kid.
Stevens says he always thought it was great business when restaurants in Detroit took Canadian money at par.
"I've always just thought our neighbours across the river are exactly like we are. I just thought in Las Vegas this was a great time to welcome Canadians back, and I thought, "You have to give a gift or an incentive." I thought Vegas at par at my three casinos was the way to go," he says.
Stevens says Canada is very important to Las Vegas, and clearly tourism is down due to a number of factors.
"We just wanted to take one of the variables out of the mix and just let everybody know that you have some friends in Vegas and we miss you, Canada," he says. "We want you to come and visit; we want you to visit the D Las Vegas, visit Circa Las Vegas, and visit the Golden Gate. We want you to know we're thinking about you."
