Las Vegas Toasts Diversity
News, National
Not for the first time, a nationwide economic downturn has struck at the heart of Las Vegas. As the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in the spring, an ominous pall engulfed traditionally buzzing Vegas casinos. The annual influx of some 42 million tourists whose dollars support roughly one-third of the local economy slowed to a trickle.
Despite an early summer rebound, June convention attendance registered zero, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. June visitor volume rose to a paltry 1 million, down 70% from 2019. At usually bustling McCarron International Airport, June arrivals clawed their way back to 25% of what’s typical.
