Las Vegas resorts roll out “At Par” pricing to win back Canadian visitors

At a time when exchange rates have made U.S. travel significantly more expensive for Canadians, a group of select Las Vegas hotels – Circa Resort & Casino, the D Las Vegas and Golden Gate Hotel & Casino – have launched an “At Par” promo that treats Canadian dollars as U.S. dollars across select gaming, hotel and beverage offerings now through Aug. 31, 2026.

Under the program, eligible Canadian guests receive $1 USD in value for every $1 CAD spent, regardless of daily exchange rates.

Available across three downtown Las Vegas properties, the effort aims to remove a “significant financial barrier” to U.S. leisure travel, reads a press release.

“Canada has always been a part of my story, so I feel a deep connection to our Canadian visitors here in Las Vegas,” said Derek Stevens, owner and CEO of Circa, the D and Golden Gate, in a statement.  

“My father went to the University of Toronto, and I was raised in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, where our home looked straight across the Detroit River toward Windsor. Growing up, we could literally hear Canada – especially during Toronto baseball games – and that stayed with me.”

“I loved crossing over for places like Tunnel Bar-B-Q, Don Cherry’s and Tim Hortons, and my lifelong love of hockey is part of why we created BarCanada downtown as a place to celebrate that culture year-round.”

“Those experiences shaped how I think about welcoming Canadian guests. At Par is about honoring that connection and removing unnecessary barriers, making sure Canadian visitors feel just as welcome downtown as they always have, without worrying about exchange rates, fine print or doing the math at the cage.”

How Canadians can benefit

Gaming offers: Canadian guests may redeem up to $500 CAD in slot promotional play, treated at full U.S. dollar value, by visiting Club One at Circa, the D or Golden Gate and presenting a valid Canadian passport or government-issued ID. Slot play is available on participating machines at each property, with standard exclusions.

Hotel Offers: Canadian guests staying at Circa, the D or Golden Gate will receive the At Par rate at check-in, paying the same number shown in U.S. dollars, charged directly in Canadian dollars, with no exchange rate applied.

Canadian citizenship will be verified with a valid passport or government-issued ID.

Beverage offers: The At Par program also extends to select beverage venues, including BarCanada at the D Las Vegas, a hockey-forward sports bar paying tribute to Canada, as well as Overhang at Circa and Bar Prohibition! at Golden Gate.

Eligible Canadian guests may redeem At Par beverage pricing multiple times per visit upon verification of Canadian identification.

Canadian visitation drops

The promo comes as Canadian visitors to Las Vegas are down 20 percent from last year, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority’s (LVCVA) year-end report.

Canadian airline capacity has dropped by an estimated 35 to 40 percent, driving visitor volumes back to 2006 levels. 

Tourism officials have cited several factors that could be discouraging international visitors to the United States, from financial factors to ongoing tariff negotiations.

The LVCVA has made attempts to rekindle its love affair with Canadian travellers, holding sales missions in Canada last year.

Despite the drop, Canada remains one of Las Vegas’ strategic international markets, accounting for 3.5 per cent of total arrivals (Vegas welcomed 41.7 million visitors total in 2024, of that, 1.5 million were Canadian).
