Shares of casino stocks are trading lower after Macau June casino revenue reportedly rose.

Las Vegas Sands's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVS#NYSE">LVS</a>) short percent of float has risen 11.04% since its last report.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Las Vegas Sands has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Las Vegas Sands's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Las Vegas Sands's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.61%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Shares of sports betting and gambling stocks are trading lower following the state of Illinois's decision to adopt a tax hike on sports betting.

A majority of Americans are ready to light up, not just in lounges or at home but also in the heart of casino resorts.
A new <a href="https://www.unlv.edu/president/initiatives/cannabis-policy-institute">survey</a> from the Cannabis Policy Institute at the University of Nevada Las Vegas found that 70% of respondents support allowing cannabis use in casino resorts, either through designated lounges or smoking areas. The findings arrive amid renewed debate over Nevada&#8217;s legal separation between gaming and cannabis, a firewall increasingly seen as outdated by both industries.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What The Data Shows</h3>
The CPI study surveyed 620 U.S. adults over the age of 21. Key takeaways:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>70% support some form of cannabis consumption at casino resorts.</li>
<li>68% favor having cannabis-smoking rooms in hotels, similar to tobacco-smoking rooms.</li>
<li>40% said they would be more likely to gamble at a resort that allowed cannabis use.</li>
<li>58% said their gambling behavior would not change with cannabis consumption.</li>
<li>25% said they would gamble more; 18% said less.</li>
</ul>
Roughly a third of respondents admitted to having consumed cannabis while gambling, mostly "less than half the time." Even so, two-thirds said they had never combined the two activities.
The study, characterized by researchers as exploratory, was designed to inform a broader discussion about whether evolving public opinion—and the rise of cannabis tourism—warrants a policy shift in Nevada's regulatory approach.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s At Stake In Las Vegas</h3>
Cannabis consumption is legal in Nevada, but state law prohibits its use in casinos or related properties. The CPI report, produced in conjunction with Assembly Bill 203, urges a formal dialogue between the Nevada Gaming Control Board and the state's Cannabis Compliance Board.
One rationale for the firewall has been a presumed risk that cannabis use might reduce gambling activity. The CPI found no supporting data for this assumption, suggesting instead that further research is needed to fully understand behavioral correlations.
If legislative and regulatory frameworks evolve, Nevada could become a pioneer in integrating cannabis into its hospitality sector, potentially reshaping Las Vegas as a global destination for cannabis-friendly entertainment.

</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Next?</h3>
Nevada lawmakers are expected to consider the CPI&#8217;s findings alongside AB203, which mandates academic input into future cannabis-gaming regulations.
Meanwhile, the disconnect between law and consumer behavior is already playing out: cannabis remains banned on the Strip, but illicit delivery persists. A regulated system could enhance safety, drive tax revenue, and reflect evolving public sentiment.

Shares of travel and leisure stocks are trading higher after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. This could reduce economic uncertainty that has been clouding travel and spending outlook.

Las Vegas Sands's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVS#NYSE">LVS</a>) short percent of float has risen 5.8% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 19.54 million shares sold short, which is 5.29% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.26 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Las Vegas Sands has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Las Vegas Sands's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Las Vegas Sands's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.72%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
