August was a solid month with more than 3.3M visitors as weekend occupancy was largely on par with last year while midweek saw notable gains supported in part by a strengthening convention segment that included recurring shows such as ASD Market Week as well the Summer 2023 Las Vegas Market show at World Market Center which fell in August this year vs. July in 2022.
