The Economic Impact of Southern Nevada's Tourism Industry

Las Vegas demonstrated a strong rebound as a favorite location for pent-up travel demand and visitor spending in 2022 hit an all-time high of $44.9 billion, exceeding pre-pandemic levels. The destination has reinvested in itself with new resort properties, expanded convention and meeting spaces, and even more entertainment options for visitors and attendees.

"These results are a powerful testament that what we do in concert with our resort partners to market this destination has an undeniable impact on our community... We’re proud of this city and this industry and know that the upcoming offerings in the destination will add to that success.” - Steve Hill, CEO and president of the LVCVA

"As we emerged from the pandemic, our consumer research made clear it was the perfect moment for us to capitalize on pent-up travel demand... We’re thrilled to see not only the strong rebound in visitation, but also the significant impact our visitors have on our state’s economy.” - Kate Wik, chief marketing officer of the LVCVA
