Despite the prospect of potentially higher costs of transportation and lodging, AAA is projecting a record-breaking number of people traveling for Memorial Day weekend, the traditional kickoff of summer vacations.
And Las Vegas resorts are taking advantage with their room pricing.
AAA estimates 45.1 million people — the highest since 2005 — will travel at least 50 miles between Thursday and Monday.
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority is expected to provide its visitation estimate later this week.
AAA says Las Vegas this year is among the top five U.S. destinations for travel for Memorial Day.
