Las Vegas reached a historic milestone, exceeding 40m visitors for the first time.
L'industrie du tourisme dans le sud du Nevada continue de se développer, réalisant dix mois consécutifs d'augmentation du volume de visiteurs, nombre de ces mois étant les meilleurs jamais enregistrés.
The “Entertainment Capital of the World” has surpassed its record for annual visitation, drawing more than 40m people with two weeks remaining of the calendar year. Current pacing suggests the destination could approach nearly 41m visitors by the end of the year. The previous record was set in 2012 with more than 39,727,000 tourists.
“Las Vegas couldn’t have reached this milestone without the continued investments of our resort partners, and the more than 40m people who came to experience all the destination has to offer,” said Rossi Ralenkotter, President/CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA). “Ongoing developments in the destination, including new, renovated and rebranded resort properties, exciting new attractions, world-class entertainment, incredible culinary offerings and more are what keep first-time visitors and loyalists returning to Las Vegas time and time again.”
Las Vegas a connu une augmentation du service aérien international direct en 2014, le Canada et le Mexique ayant joué un rôle déterminant dans la croissance des visites.
Le tourisme joue un rôle vital dans l'économie du sud du Nevada et de la vallée de Las Vegas, générant plus de 45 milliards de dollars par an et soutenant 376,000 XNUMX emplois locaux.
To celebrate the 40m visitor milestone, as only Las Vegas can, the destination created a series of priceless, ‘Only in Vegas’ experiences and surprised unsuspecting visitors with Las Vegas entertainers, including Penn and Teller, Carrot Top and Claire Sinclair, presenting the one-of-a-kind experiences.
