高盛提醒客户：在2008年金融危机爆发前，拉斯维加斯率先崩溃，而如今已经“复现”

Group 1 - The current consumer spending environment is showing early warning signs similar to those before the 2008 financial crisis, with Las Vegas gaming revenue acting as an economic cycle indicator [1] - Goldman Sachs analysts, led by Lizzie Dove, report that consumer trends in Las Vegas are declining, reflecting early signs of economic recession [1][4] - Despite a K-shaped recovery and a bifurcated spending environment, the early signals warrant close attention from the market until early 2026 [1][4] Group 2 - The research establishes an analytical framework to identify the transmission path of consumer pressure, based on the responses of the tourism and leisure industry during the 2008-2009 recession [2] - Las Vegas and the airline industry were the first sectors impacted during the 2008 global financial crisis, with gaming revenue declining as early as February to March 2008 and airline boarding numbers showing a drop by mid-2008 [2] - In contrast, the hotel and cruise industries experienced a lag in their downturn, with U.S. hotel revenue per available room (RevPAR) starting to decline in late 2008 and cruise industry net yields reaching their lowest point by mid-2009 [2] Group 3 - The emphasis on historical consumer behavior patterns is due to the current K-shaped recovery and differentiated spending environment signaling early warning signs [4] - Las Vegas trends indicate a downward trajectory, consistent with early signs of economic downturn, while the airline sector remains robust [4] - If airline demand begins to decline following Las Vegas, it would provide clearer evidence of broader economic weakness, potentially necessitating macroeconomic policy adjustments [4]
