LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Tourist visitation to Las Vegas saw a spike in April, according to figures released this week by the city's tourism authority.
Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority officials say just over 3.5 million people visited the city in April, which represented nearly a 4% increase from the same month in 2023.
The report also showed that Las Vegas hotel occupancy saw modest increases for weekend and mid-week dates in April. The overall average daily hotel room rate — a metric closely tracked by resort operators and tourism officials — came in at just over $182 in April, a jump of 7% from the same month last year.
Largely because of some shifting schedule dates, convention attendance (503,500) was up 36% in April when compared to April 2023, according to the LVCVA.
Airport officials also released April statistics Thursday, which showed that just under 4.9 million passengers came through Harry Reid International for the month. That was up just slightly from April 2023, according to the monthly report.
Through April, the airport has handled 18.6 million passengers, putting it on a pace to eclipse last year's record of 57.6 million passengers.
In 2023, just under 41 million people visited Las Vegas.
