About 332,000 tourists are expected to visit Las Vegas and surrounding areas for the Independence Day holiday weekend, hospitality industry officials said.
The visitor estimation is 3.1 percent higher than the total during the five-day holiday weekend last year, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. This year’s four-day weekend is projected to generate $418.7 million in direct spending and $692.9 million in indirect spending, estimates show. Last year’s holiday brought about $372.7 million in direct spending to the market.
Visitors will have plenty to do while in town throughout the holiday week. Special events include a Blink-182 concert on Wednesday at T-Mobile Arena.
