• In 2024 Las Vegas had 41,676,300 visitors, up 2.1% on 2023 and the highest year since 2019. (LVCVA (year summary), Feb 2025)
• 2023 brought 40,829,900 visitors, up 5.2% on 2022. (LVCVA (year summary), Jan 2025)
• Visitors numbered 38,829,300 in 2022, up 20.5% as travel recovered. (LVCVA (year summary), Jan 2024)
• 2021 saw 32,230,600 visitors, up 69.4% on 2020. (LVCVA (year summary), Feb 2022)
• In 2020 visitor numbers fell 55.2% to 19,031,100, and April 2020 had just 106,900 visitors, down 97.0%. (LVCVA (year summary), Feb 2021)
• 2019, the last year before the pandemic, had 42,523,700 visitors. (LVCVA (year summary), Jan 2021)
• Visitor numbers rose from 37,335,436 in 2010 to 42,312,216 in 2015; the peak before the 2008 recession was 39,196,761 in 2007. (LVCVA (historic statistics), Apr 2026)
• Hotels and motels sold 44,023,000 room nights in 2025, against 46,801,000 in 2024. Room nights are the base LVCVA uses to estimate visitor numbers. (LVCVA (year summary), Aug 2026)

Visitor volume is an LVCVA estimate built from room nights occupied, people per room and the share staying with friends or relatives, not a head count. The LVCVA series is rounded to the nearest hundred from 2016 onwards, which suggests a change in the estimate, so compare years before and after 2016 with care. 2016 is the high point of the series; 2019 was the last year before the pandemic, not the record.

How is Las Vegas tourism doing in 2026?

Visitor numbers in 2026 are running level with 2025, so last year's fall has not been reversed. Conventions and road traffic are up, while air passengers are down.

How many passengers fly into Las Vegas?

Harry Reid International is the way in for visitors who fly, and its passenger numbers fell in 2025 after two record years. The fall has carried on into 2026, and Spirit Airlines carried no passengers there by September.

• The airport handled a record 58,447,782 passengers in 2024; 2025 was its third-highest year. (Harry Reid International Airport, Jan 2026)
• Passenger numbers were 51,528,524 in 2019 and fell to 22,200,595 in 2020. (LVCVA (historic statistics), Apr 2026)
• International passengers fell to 3,427,333 in 2025, from 3,701,961 in 2024. (Harry Reid International Airport, 2026)

• Southwest Airlines carried 21,813,165 passengers at the airport in 2025, about 40% of the total; next were Delta (5,260,253), American (4,423,170), United (4,410,529) and Frontier (3,783,142). (Harry Reid International Airport, Jan 2026)
• From January to September 2026 the airport handled 38,429,929 passengers, down 7.29% on a year earlier; international passengers fell to 2,484,802 from 2,636,531, though September international traffic rose 5.9%. (Harry Reid International Airport, Oct 2026)
• Spirit Airlines passengers fell 87.2% to 512,335 in January to September 2026, with none in September, while Frontier grew 21.2% and Alaska 28.6%. (Harry Reid International Airport, Oct 2026)

• There were 586,871 take-offs and landings in 2025, down from 613,973 in 2024. (Harry Reid International Airport, 2026)

Passenger counts add arrivals and departures and include residents and connecting passengers, so they are not a count of visitors. International passengers are people on international flights, not foreign visitors. The 2025 total is from the airport's December 2025 traffic report; its January 2026 release gave 54,988,547 before a small revision, the figure LVCVA uses. The 2026 figures are preliminary.

How many visitors drive to Las Vegas?

Slightly more than half of visitors arrive by road, most of them on I-15 from Southern California. Traffic at the California border rose in 2026 while air passengers fell.

• Road 53%
• Air 47%

• 53% of visitors arrived by road in 2025 and 47% by air. (LVCVA (visitor profile), Mar 2026)
• An average of 43,301 vehicles a day crossed the Nevada-California border on I-15 at Primm in 2025, down 1.7%. This average leaves out July and August, when road works made the counts incomplete. (LVCVA (year summary), Aug 2026)
• I-15 border traffic averaged 45,042 vehicles a day from January to September 2026, up 5.8%, with a monthly high of 50,908 in July. (LVCVA (monthly statistics), Oct 2026)
• Daily traffic at the border averaged 40,213 vehicles in 2010, 44,678 in 2019 and 37,460 in 2020. (LVCVA (historic statistics), Apr 2026)

Border counts come from the Nevada Department of Transportation via LVCVA and include residents and freight as well as visitors. The 2025 average excludes July and August, so year-on-year comparisons with 2026 should be read with care.

Where do Las Vegas visitors come from?

Most visitors come from the western US, and Southern California alone supplies more than a quarter of them. Overseas visits fell sharply in 2025.

1. 1 Western US states 58%
2. 2 California 32%
3. 3 Southern California 29%
4. 4 Arizona 12%
5. 5 Outside the US 12%

• 12% of visitors in 2025 came from outside the US, the same share as in 2023 and 2024 and up from 3% in 2021; 29% came from Southern California and 58% from the western states. (LVCVA (visitor profile), Mar 2026)
• Overseas visits to Las Vegas fell 14.7%, or 380,000, from 2,588,000 in 2024, and the city's share of all overseas visitors to the US slipped from 7.4% to 6.4%. (NTTO, Sep 2026)
• Nevada had 2,287,000 overseas visitors in 2025, fourth among US states, down 13.5%. (NTTO, Sep 2026)

The two international measures count different things. The NTTO figures cover overseas visitors only, so they leave out Canada and Mexico, and they come from a federal survey. The LVCVA 12% share covers all foreign visitors and is an input to the survey weighting, not an independent count. The two are not combined.

Who visits Las Vegas?

The typical visitor is a repeat guest in their early 40s, travelling as a couple, and high earners are a growing share. Most come on holiday, and nearly all gamble, but few come for the gambling.

• Visitors stayed an average of 3.2 nights in 2025, down from 3.4 nights in 2024. (LVCVA (visitor profile), Mar 2026)
• 21% came for a special personal occasion; of those, 56% were celebrating a birthday and 6% a bachelor or bachelorette party. (LVCVA (visitor profile), Mar 2026)
• 87% were very satisfied with their trip and 60% said Las Vegas beat their expectations, up from 54% in 2024. (LVCVA (visitor profile), Mar 2026)

These are survey figures from 5,409 interviews with visitors aged 21 and over, commissioned by LVCVA, the county tourism body. An online component was added in 2022, so earlier years are not strictly comparable.

How much do visitors spend in Las Vegas?

Visitors spend far more per trip than before the pandemic, but total spending fell in 2025 because there were fewer of them. Gambling and sport took a bigger share of the budget, and shopping a smaller one.

1. 1 Food and drink $582.86
2. 2 Shopping $222.05
3. 3 Local transport $162.33
4. 4 Shows $68.48

• Total visitor spending fell 7.8% in 2025, a drop of $4.3 billion on 2024. (LVCVA (economic impact), Jul 2026)
• Spending per visit was $4 lower than in 2024 but 52.1% higher than in 2019, in dollars not adjusted for inflation. (LVCVA (economic impact), Jul 2026)
• Per-visit spending on gambling rose by $27 (+11.2%) and on sporting events by $10 (+81.7%), while shopping fell 21.0% to $222. (LVCVA (economic impact), Jul 2026)
• On the visitor survey, the average visitor spent $582.86 on food and drink in 2025, $162.33 on local transport and $68.48 on shows. (LVCVA (visitor profile), Mar 2026)
• Lodging cost visitors $174.52 a night on average, leaving out packages and free rooms. (LVCVA (visitor profile), Mar 2026)

The total and per-visit spending figures are LVCVA estimates prepared by Applied Analysis and include gambling. The category amounts come from the separate visitor survey and are averages across all visitors, so the two sets are not added together.

How much do Las Vegas casinos win?

Strip casinos win close to $9 billion a year from gamblers, far more than before the pandemic. Slot machines bring in more than half of it, and baccarat is the biggest table game.

• Slot machines 56%
• Table, counter and card games 44%

• Strip gaming win hit a record $8.902 billion in 2023. (Nevada Gaming Control Board, 2024)
• Slot machines won $4.950 billion on the Strip in 2025 and table, counter and card games $3.865 billion; baccarat alone won $1.410 billion, more than any other table game. (Nevada Gaming Control Board, Jan 2026)
• The Strip had an average of 35,232 slot machines and 2,616 table games in 2025, and slots kept 7.83% of the money played. (Nevada Gaming Control Board, Jan 2026)
• Nevada casinos won a record $15.798 billion statewide in 2025. (Nevada Gaming Control Board, Jan 2026)
• Downtown Las Vegas casinos won a record $951.2 million in 2025, up 2.14%. (Nevada Gaming Control Board, Jan 2026)
• Sports betting win on the Strip rose 38.9% to $271.3 million in 2025, and mobile betting on Strip properties won $173.8 million. (Nevada Gaming Control Board, Jan 2026)
• In the 12 months to September 2026 the Strip won $8.989 billion, up 1.96%, and Clark County $13.893 billion. (Nevada Gaming Control Board, Oct 2026)
• Clark County casinos won $10.356 billion in 2019, the last year before the pandemic. (Nevada Gaming Control Board, 2020)
• Gamblers set aside $848.95 for the trip on average and gambled 2.6 hours a day. (LVCVA (visitor profile), Mar 2026)

Gaming win is what casinos keep after paying winners, before tax and costs, for nonrestricted licences only. The figures are first releases from the Nevada Gaming Control Board, which produces them; LVCVA republishes them with small later revisions. Clark County includes the Strip, Downtown and the rest of the county. Dollars are not adjusted for inflation. The trip budget is what gamblers said they set aside, not what they lost.

How many hotel rooms does Las Vegas have, and how full are they?

Las Vegas has about 150,000 hotel and motel rooms, a total that has barely moved in 15 years. Occupancy fell in 2025 to its lowest level outside the pandemic years since 2010, and Downtown hotels are far emptier than those on the Strip.

• Clark County caps short-term rental licences at 1% of housing units in the unincorporated county, where the Strip sits; amendments introduced in October 2026 keep the cap. (Clark County, Oct 2026)

Room counts and occupancy cover hotels and motels, not short-term rentals. Occupancy comes from a survey covering more than 75% of Las Vegas hotel rooms. The LVCVA historic table gives 156,100 rooms for 2023 on a different averaging basis; this page uses the 2023 year summary figure. No official count of short-term rental licences issued was found.

How much does a hotel room cost in Las Vegas?

Room rates fell in 2025 after four years of rises, but a night still costs far more than before the pandemic. A Strip room costs about twice as much as one Downtown.

1. 1 Strip $197.45
2. 2 All Las Vegas $184.43
3. 3 Downtown $98.75

• The average daily rate was $193.16 in 2024, the high point of recent years. (LVCVA (year summary), Feb 2025)
• In 2023 a room averaged $191.29 a night, and $204.42 on the Strip. (LVCVA (year summary), Jan 2025)
• In 2019 a room averaged $132.62 a night, $143.21 on the Strip and $71.80 Downtown. (LVCVA (year summary), Jan 2021)

• Revenue per available room was $148.10 in 2025, down 8.3% from $161.48 in 2024. (LVCVA (year summary), Aug 2026)
• Since 12 May 2025 a federal rule has required hotels and other short-term lodging to show the total price including all mandatory fees, such as resort fees. (FTC, Dec 2024)

Rates are LVCVA average daily room rates, not adjusted for inflation. LVCVA does not say whether resort fees are included, and no official body publishes average Las Vegas resort fees. The federal fee rule is national, not a Las Vegas statistic.

How big is the Las Vegas convention business?

Conventions bring around 6 million attendees a year, and they held up in 2025 while leisure visits fell. Attendance is rising again in 2026 but has not reached the 2019 high.

What is tourism worth to the Las Vegas economy?

Tourism is the largest part of the Southern Nevada economy, and about one job in four in the Las Vegas area is in leisure and hospitality. Visitor spending, jobs and room tax all fell in 2025, while tourism wages rose.

• Leisure and hospitality jobs in the metro area fell from 292,300 in February 2020 to 141,000 in April 2020. (BLS, Nov 2026)
• Leisure and hospitality employment was 302,800 in September 2026 (preliminary), against 302,200 a year earlier. (BLS, Nov 2026)
• Casino hotels employed 132,600 people in September 2026 (preliminary), against 133,300 a year earlier. (BLS, Nov 2026)

The output, jobs and wage figures are LVCVA estimates prepared by Applied Analysis with an input-output model; output is not the same as tourism GDP. The federal BLS count measures leisure and hospitality jobs by industry, a different basis from the LVCVA count of jobs supported by visitors, so the two are not combined. Room tax is the LVCVA share only and excludes money set aside for the convention centre expansion.

What are the biggest events in Las Vegas?

CES, the technology show held every January, is the largest single event, and big sporting weekends push hotel rates to their highest levels of the year.

• CES 2026 drew 148,392 audited attendees, 55,841 of them international, from 141 countries, regions and territories, with more than 4,100 exhibitors. (CTA, 2026)
• CES 2025 drew 142,465 attendees, 57,401 of them international. (CTA, 2025)
• CES 2024 drew 138,789 attendees. (CTA, 2024)
• The 2025 National Finals Rodeo drew 175,846 spectators over ten performances, up from 170,045 in 2024 and the highest since 2014. (National Finals Rodeo, Dec 2025)
• In February 2024, the month Las Vegas hosted the Super Bowl, the average room rate reached $248.35 ($269.37 on the Strip), the highest month of 2024. (LVCVA (year summary), Feb 2025)
• Before the game, LVCVA projected the 2024 Super Bowl would bring an economic impact of more than $500 million, based on previous Super Bowls. This is a projection, not a measured result. (LVCVA, Feb 2023)
• In November 2023, the month of the first Las Vegas Grand Prix, the average room rate hit $249.31 ($270.17 on the Strip), the highest month of 2023. (LVCVA (year summary), Jan 2025)

Event attendance counts entries over several days, not individual people, and CES includes exhibitor staff. The room-rate figures describe the month of the event; LVCVA does not attribute them to the event. No measured study of the Super Bowl or Grand Prix impact from an official body was found, so none is quoted.

How many people visit Lake Mead, Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon?

The parks and landmarks around Las Vegas draw millions of visits a year, led by Lake Mead. Visits to both Lake Mead and the Grand Canyon fell in 2025.

Recreation visits to Lake Mead National Recreation Area a year, 2019 to 2025.

Period	Value
2019	7.50m
2020	8.02m
2021	7.60m
2022	5.58m
2023	5.80m
2024	6.41m
2025	6.14m

• Lake Mead National Recreation Area had 6,135,586 recreation visits in 2025, against 6,412,854 in 2024. (National Park Service, 2026)
• Lake Mead visits peaked at 8,016,510 in 2020 and fell to 5,578,226 in 2022. (National Park Service, 2026)
• Grand Canyon National Park had 4,430,653 recreation visits in 2025, down 9.9% from 4,919,163 in 2024 and well below the 2018 peak of 6,380,495. (National Park Service, 2026)
• Hoover Dam welcomes more than 4 million visitors a year, on the Bureau of Reclamation's rounded estimate. (Bureau of Reclamation, Jan 2026)
• Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area had about 3.6 million visitors in 2023, the latest year reported. (Bureau of Land Management, Jun 2024)

Park figures are recreation visits, not individual people, summed from National Park Service monthly data; Lake Mead covers both the Nevada and Arizona sides. The Grand Canyon is in Arizona and its count covers the whole park, including visitors who did not come from Las Vegas. The Hoover Dam and Red Rock figures are rounded estimates on different bases and years. BLM says its Red Rock count fell because of a change in method, so it is not compared with earlier years.

Methodology and sources

Most local figures come from LVCVA, the county tourism body, so each LVCVA number is labelled with its report: the year summaries, the 2026 monthly statistics, the historic statistics table, the executive summary, the economic impact study (prepared by Applied Analysis) and the visitor profile survey (prepared by Heart+Mind Strategies). Casino win comes from the Nevada Gaming Control Board, which produces it, in its first-release figures. Overseas visitors come from NTTO, jobs by industry from BLS, airport figures from Harry Reid International Airport, and climate normals from NOAA. Each number links to the body that produced it, with the date. Measures that count different things, such as overseas visitors against the LVCVA share of foreign visitors, or visitor-supported jobs against jobs by industry, are given side by side and not merged. Items we could not confirm at the primary source, including event impact studies and crime figures, are left out. The page is reviewed monthly and the date is shown at the top.
