Roughly 26 international destinations are reachable from Las Vegas. And the more, the better, say Las Vegas travel officials.
“[International] visitors tend to stay longer, and they tend to spend more in the destination, because their stay is a little bit longer,” says Cheryl Smith, director of air service development with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA). “So from an economic development perspective, this is where air service development is critical to the economy overall.”
International travel continues to expand in the wake of the pandemic, but capacity still is not back to pre-pandemic levels, says Harry Reid International Airport’s Scott Kichline, managing director of commercial and business development.
