Visitors and hotel rooms, August 2026
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority counts 3.03 million visitors in August 2026, down 4.3% on a year earlier. Hotels filled 74.1% of their rooms, against 77.5% a year before; on the Strip, 77.0%, at an average of $153 a night.
The visitor figure is an estimate, not a count at a gate: the bureau builds it from room nights occupied and survey answers about party size and nights stayed, so it moves with hotel stays and misses day-trippers. Occupancy comes from a survey of most of the market’s rooms. A month with a big convention or a fight weekend lifts both; compare a month with the same month a year earlier.
The record starts where the bureau’s monthly workbooks do. Spring 2020 is the closure of the resorts by state order.
