Each month the Las Vegas Convention & Visitor’s Authority releases the visitor statistics. We have been following these numbers closely since the reopening of Las Vegas in June and the visitor trends do seem to be improving slightly, but there is plenty of bad news to go around as well.
In this video I’ll go through all of the numbers including visitor volume, average room rates and revenue per available room plus we’ll look at how many people drove and how many flew in plus I’ll show you why locals casinos are doing much better than expected!

Crime on the strip is not gone it's getting worse they need to up their prices and get the thugs out of here
Where are the numbers for September?
Most people do not need all this detail.
Worst thing that ever happened to Vegas: Running the mob out of town in the early '80s. The casinos were FAR better managed then, customers were treated better, comps were looser, etc. Also – if the mob were still running the town, the ridiculously extreme lockdown measures taken by Sissylak would either not be happening, or he'd be resting comfortably by now in one of those "holes in the desert" that Joe Pesci talks about in the movie Casino.
Gaming rev is the most interesting part of this, to me anyway. – When comparing July 2020 to August 2020 don't forget that July has a holiday and August doesn't. The fact that visitor volume is down 57% YoY August to August and gaming revenue is only down 25.1% is astonishing. Illustrates or underscores who is not visiting Vegas, business to business which doesn't gamble. I heard that gaming revenue had been less and less important for Vegas properties over the years. You certainly can see that from these numbers.
As long as the MASK NAZI'S are running the show,I am not going back.
The year to date is surprisingly high to me.
i heard that McCarren Airport was laying off 2000 employees.
Hello 👋 Shane, keep up the good work, support 💪
Sub'ed…luv the hotel and resort tours.
非常喜歡你的影片, you are the best YouTuber in Las Vegas. 💪
Gaming revenue down the least? Are the slots tighter? More "whales" in town? Sports book up? Very interestng..
Yeah Yeah Yeah, this is down, that is up. We are in the middle of a Pandemic, that fact that there are people that are coming to Vegas is phenomenal. Vegas has been turning itself away from gambling for a very long time, they have kept reinventing themselves, from a family, children friendly place, to an Adult only. They are now trying to become a Sports Center, so if it wasn't for the Pandemic, Vegas was situating itself as more than Gambling. Although the reason I go to Vegas is to Gamble, enjoy the good food, and stay in a Great Resort.

They need to Open the border again….
Congrats on 10 k!!!!!
Your voice is very soothing and easy to listen to / ty
I dont care about your vegas story!! Can we talk about that Micky mouse is co cute in the back lol 😘😍🤪. Poor vegas 🙁 i mean everywhere is like that anyway
I think more than the convention traffic it is the lack of international travellers really bringing down the mid week numbers. Although the conventions bring in a lot of revenue they only account for around half a million actual visitors. (Actually , 657,000 in 2019)
If they made the casinos smoke free permanently, that would bring me back.
Try finding the markets that generate the most travelers and target them with promotions
i own a place in vegas and go to maintain the local stores for appliances too
October numbers may be interesting, busiest wedding day of the year was 10/10/2020 and even with the pandemic every place I know people at was packed. Interested to see if that 1 days has an impact or if the month is slow overall despite it. October is usually the busiest wedding month.
Low hotel rates and crime.
Back in 2007 – 2010 hotel rates were much lower than today, but I don't remember any excess crime news.
But YouTube wasn't huge like it is today, so maybe hidden news is good news.
I hit Vegas several times during the Great Recession period and the street demographics were much different.
Today there is a much higher percent of gang types than in the past. Even the Vegas sheriff has talked about the increases in gang types on the Strip. Another shooting at the Miracle Mile shops over the weekend.
Vegas won't come back until a vaccine is in full use.
You are the new go to for news and information
Hi Shawn! The numbers are getting better. I was actually there last weekend the day after Park MGM opened. I was surprised how busy the Strip was that weekend! The hotels were still not as busy with booked rooms because when I walked through MGM to and from The Signature to get to the Strip, the hotel although somewhat busy, was not like pre-pandemic numbers. So, having said that, it is just going to take time. Covid is nothing to play around with. I am cautiously optimistic. The glass is half full. CAB 😊
Thanks for the stats….Living in Canada sucks. This is the time of year we usually visit Vegas.
Shawn getting some crazy comp offers from MGM to come back, I still do not feel comfortable taking a plane!
