Expect a lot of people to be in Las Vegas this Labor Day weekend.
The traditional end-of-summer holiday usually is a big last fling for people whose children are settling into school schedules. And while none of the major tourism organizations released estimated visitation numbers, all indications point to a busy weekend with dozens of hotels sold out and rates towering above nightly averages, both signs of high demand.
Long weekends and holidays typically draw more than 300,000 people to Southern Nevada, and resorts and event planners make sure their performance venues and dayclub pools are ready to accommodate the masses.
