Las Vegas sets new record in tourist arrivals

Las Vegas has set a new record in tourist arrivals by surpassing 42 million visitors. This breaks last year’s record of 41.1 million.

“Las Vegas could not have achieved this without the support of our resort partners and the dedicated workers who make the Las Vegas experience what it is,” said Rossi Ralenkotter, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA).

“Whether a first-time visitor or a returning Las Vegas enthusiast, the destination continues to astonish travellers from all over the world with luxury resort experiences, world class dining and exciting entertainment,” he added.

The figure is said to be achieved due to several new non-stop flights, increased convention attendance throughout the year, and several other factors.

Tourism is considered the lifeblood of the Southern Nevada economy and the Las Vegas Valley, generating more than US$ 50 billion annually and supporting 366,000 local jobs, which represents 43 per cent of employment within Clark County.
