The number of visitors to Las Vegas jumped by nearly 5 percent in November, thanks to a robust Specialty Equipment Market Association trade show last month, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority reported Thursday.
But the number of tourists still hasn’t gotten the city over the level of visitation that occurred in pre-pandemic 2019.
The LVCVA said an estimated 3.3 million visitors came to Las Vegas in November, including an estimated 582,800 conventioneers — the second-highest monthly total this year.
The SEMA show and its Automotive Aftermarket Week in early November provided the biggest visitation boost with more than 135,000 people attending the trade show at the Las Vegas Convention Center and The Venetian Expo.
