Vegas Waiter Sees Trump's No-Tip Tax Break Fall Short Amid Tourism Slump

AFP reports that in Las Vegas, Trump's pledge of 'No Tax on Tips' has not shielded service workers from economic pain as tourism declines and inflation erodes tips. A waiter says tips are down dramatically and his casino restaurant has reduced staff, while the Culinary Union says thousands of hospitality workers are affected. Though the policy offers a federal tip deduction, many workers feel little benefit amid weak foot traffic and rising costs, complicating Trump’s appeal as elections approach.
