Las Vegas: A Sure Bet For Excitement

Historically, you could say that Las Vegas has always been on a winning streak.

If you consider that Sin City welcomed 37.4 million guests and had approximately 140,000 hotel rooms just 10 years ago, and has grown to over 42 million guest visits (including 6.6 million who visited on business) and almost 149,000 hotel rooms this past year, it’s quite clear Vegas continues to rise in popularity with leisure and business travelers. There’s something for everyone in Las Vegas, and with the opening of some notable restaurants, cool concerts, and boutique hotels, your clients should all have Vegas on their bucket list!
