Las Vegas is peaking as a must-see travel destination just as the start of the summer vacation season nears.

Las Vegas is expected to be the third-most popular destination in the country during the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, according to AAA. That’s great news for hospitality industry executives fretting over the possibility of a downturn in visitation as a result of inflation, soaring interest rates and high gasoline prices.

When the three-day Memorial Day weekend that kicks off the traditional start of summer vacations arrives Friday, thousands of visitors will pack Las Vegas resorts as they break away from their homes.
