Las Vegas June 2022: Visitor Traffic Down 7.8% Compared to 2019

Note: I like using Las Vegas as a measure of recovery for both leisure (visitors) and business (conventions).

From the Las Vegas Visitor Authority: May 2022 Las Vegas Visitor Statistics

Las Vegas saw another strong month of visitation in June as the destination hosted over 3.3M visitors, about 12% ahead of last June but approx. 8% behind June 2019.

Weekend occupancy welcomed a fourth consecutive month at or above 90% and Midweek occupancy reached 80% for the first time since February 2020 (up 9.1 pts YoY but down 9.7 pts vs. June 2019).
