Sounds like people just don’t have money for vacations. Not when your spare pennies have to go for groceries. Probably taking in more local attractions, day trips, etc.

oh sure, you can’t go to McDonald’s now for less than $100. Who the hell has money to throw into a machine

I am not sure that is the problem.
Other places are still crowded.

I went to Italy last October in the OFF season and it was packed with Americans.
I just watched a YouTube video last week and Rome was packed with Americans and it was over 100 degrees and humid there.

I am going to Bar Harbor next month. The place I am staying is sold out.

I think the issue is with Vegas.

I noticed in my budget this is the first year we are over budget nearly every month on groceries. The budget for eating out was already lower this year.
