Visitation to Southern Nevada cooled in April with visitor volume and occupancy rates flat and convention attendance and room rates down slightly, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority announced Wednesday.

The LVCVA said 3.386 million visitors traveled to Southern Nevada, a 0.1 percent increase over April 2022, but there were 369,400 convention attendees, a 2.1 percent decline from last year.

Convention traffic declined, despite the presence of the massive National Association of Broadcasters trade show, one of the city’s five largest conventions of the year. An analyst blamed the relatively late timing of the Easter holiday as one of the reasons convention traffic was off.
