Saturday, June 29, 2024 For the upcoming Independence Day holiday weekend, around 332,000 visitors are anticipated to visit Las Vegas and adjoining areas, hospitality industry officials said. The visitor approximation is almost 3.1 percent higher compared to the total during the 2023’s five-day holiday weekend, as per the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
The estimates shows that the four-day weekend of 2024 is expected to make $418.7 million in direct spending and around $692.9 million in indirect spending.
To the market, the holiday of 2023 brought almost $372.7 million in direct spending. Visitors will have many things to do while they are in town all through the holiday week.
Special events like on Wednesday at T-Mobile Arena – Blink-182 concert, Dead and Company’s residency at the Sphere, Thursday through Saturday; on Tuesday, Las Vegas Aces games happening between the WNBA opponents the Indiana Fever and on Thursday, Washington Mystics; among other DJ shows and residencies. An assistant professor at UNLV’s William F. Harrah College of Hospitality, Amanda Belarmino, said that when Independence Day comes on the weekday, it has a chance to create softer demand compared to weekends, Friday or Monday.
But inflation and high-profile events all through the week has a chance to contribute to higher spending in Las Vegas..
