Pretty sure this is almost entirely about current US government. I seriously considered touring US this year, but for obvious reasons I feel safer travelling to China.
Trump is certainly a major contributor to the malaise - I bet visitors from Canada have fallen off a cliff and Europeans can't be far behind. But even domestic visitors must be wondering wtf is going on with the place. It's just so expensive and a rip off. There are even videos gone up on YouTube in the last few days by dedicated Vegas resident bloggers listing the ways they're fucking over visitors - parking fees, resort fees, 000 roulette, 6:5 blackjack payouts, high table limits, etc. Some even say don't bother until casinos read the room and start offering value again. Personally I don't think MGM & Caesars are capable of it, but maybe some of the smaller off-strip casinos can do it - free parking, low table limits, buffets, cheap shows - the things that pull in customers. I doubt it will help with international visitor numbers but the smaller casinos probably rely on domestic visitors anyway and if they can attract them back then that's something.
