The World Cup was supposed to provide a tourism boom for the US, but now the fear is it may never materialize.
A report produced by the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) has found that bookings are well below expectations in almost every host city.
Hotels said high match ticket pricing, local transport and tax costs, and the political (Trump) backdrop have put visitors off.
A study commissioned by Fifa, released last year, predicted that in the US the World Cup could create 185,000 jobs, adding $17.2bn (£12.7bn) in gross domestic product.
Those wealthy visitors are going to the other countries, but not to America, at least not to the cities where the games are being played.
What is strange is while those games in America are playing hotel booking in Canada are at a all time high.
Canada media have open their homes to foreign media as a way to cut their cost to cover the games.
