Vegas September Visitor Stats
Every month Las Vegas releases statistics for visitors. We’ve been following these numbers ever since the reopening in June and I am happy to report that they are getting better. Despite most categories still being vastly lower than last year, each month shows gains and improvements.
In this week’s MtM Vegas Mark and I discuss these numbers including some of the more hopeful metrics. One area of the Vegas Valley even saw a year over year increase in gaming revenue. They are doing better than pre-pandemic. Definitely some signs of hope, but the recovery is slow.
Nobu & The Cromwell Reviews
We also discuss our recent stays at Nobu located inside Caesars Palace and The Cromwell which just reopened as the only 21+ hotel/casino on the Las Vegas Strip. It doesn’t quite live up to the hype for me, but I was glad to stay there and really enjoyed Nobu despite its semi-high cost.
Las Vegas Midweek Closures
Finally there is a bit of bad news to report as well. Despite the visitor number increases, midweek in Vegas is still slow. As the city heads into the traditionally slow periods in November and December we got word that many venues and indeed even whole hotels may be shut during the week. The first such announcement came with the news that the Park MGM hotel will only be open on weekends going forward.

I think there ar emany other factors other than down 51% > FIrst the per capita spending of the people coming. Rooms are less. There are no shows, so many things in Vegas are shut or shuttered that bring in real revenue. So the rake across the board per capita I believe is far less. For example conventions come in and some of those people fill the high cost restuarants. These are some incredible tough times for Vegas. Until trade shows and meeting get back going they really will be hurting. Conventions are usually Sunday-Thursday brining revenue throughout the week.
