Between 32 and 41 million people have come to Las Vegas every year since the pandemic, and most of them engage somehow with the iconic, 4.5-mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard known as the Strip.
The Strip’s hotel room occupancy for 2024 was 86.4%, quite the figure when you realize there are more than 85,000 rooms to occupy. The Strip made $21.8 billion in total revenue last year, including more than $8.8 billion in gaming revenue.
