LAS VEGAS – What happens in Vegas is now on sale.
Amid ongoing tourism headwinds, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) announced the return of its “5-Day Sale” on Sept. 22 in a bid to lure visitors back to Sin City.
“Vegas is where travelers come to trade the expected for the unforgettable,” Kate Wik, chief marketing officer at the LVCVA, said in a news release provided to USA TODAY.
Las Vegas drew about 3.1 million fewer visitors in 2025 than in 2024, a 7.5% drop, according to data from the LVCVA. It was the largest drop in visitors since record-keeping began in 1970, excluding the COVID-19 pandemic.
Through July, visitor volume remained nearly flat year to date, up 0.5%, according to LVCVA data. July, the most recent month with complete data, saw a 2.7% year-over-year increase in visitors, the largest monthly increase so far this year. Previous months saw year-over-year declines of as much as 2.2%.
Earlier this year, multiple casino operators across the city offered all-inclusive deals to incentivize visitors to return. MGM Resorts CEO Bill Hornbuckle said in the company’s July 29 earnings call that half of guests who booked the package offered at Luxor and Excalibur were first-time visitors to MGM properties, a figure he called “startling” but “promising.”
