A federal program that subsidizes flights to small airports across the country could significantly shrink, if President Donald Trump gets his way.

Though foot traffic has dipped across Las Vegas, the Entertainment Capital of the World is far from “dead” as visitors and locals flock to budget locations that provide “value.” Visitor volume is down 11.3% in June, according to the Las Vegas Visitors and Convention Authority; more than 3 million people visited the Las Vegas Valley that month.

Las Vegas has won the dubious distinction of being named one of the nation’s most dangerous cities for pedestrians. Sin City was rated as the third worst city for pedestrians in a study released last week by shoe company Kuru.
