Vegas Tourism Drops 7.5% Despite Airport Record

Las Vegas sees visitor numbers plummet 7.5% in 2025 to 38.5 million, the sharpest decline since the pandemic and echoing levels from 2000-2003. Harry Reid International Airport bucks the trend with nearly 55 million passengers, its third-highest total ever, thanks to shorter TSA waits, a revamped website, and new lounges. Hotel occupancy slips to 80.3% with average room rates at $196.54, while convention attendance falls to 5.99 million.
