Las Vegas Tourism Slide Deepens as November Air Travel Falls for 10th Straight Month

New November figures confirm a prolonged slide that high-profile events have not reversed.

Overview

  • Harry Reid International handled about 4.3 million passengers in November, a 9.6% year-over-year decline according to airport data.
  • Visitor volume reached roughly 32.3 million through October, down 7.6% from a year earlier, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority reports.
  • International travel weakened, with 239,500 overseas visitors in November versus 303,834 a year earlier, and Air Canada's traffic to Las Vegas down about 40%.
  • The sold-out Las Vegas Grand Prix drew more than 300,000 attendees yet coincided with another monthly drop in air passengers.
  • Industry sources cite a mix of causes including tariffs that dampen foreign demand, consumer confidence and value concerns, and airline cutbacks such as Spirit flying 36.7% fewer passengers through ten months.
