Las Vegas will be busy this weekend, as the unofficial end to the summer kicks off today and runs through the Monday Labor Day holiday.<\/p>\n

Officials with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Bureau (LVCVA) expect around 331,000 visitors to descend on Southern Nevada during the three-day weekend. That would be at least 5% more than last year’s holiday.<\/p>\n

The government agency tasked with promoting Las Vegas as a premier destination for leisure and business says casino hotel room bookings are strong, and occupancy rates are forecast north of 92%. Las Vegas has nearly 151,000 hotel rooms.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

While rain is usually welcomed in the desert, Saturday’s forecast could hamper some outdoor activities. The National Weather Service forecasts a 70% chance of rain on Saturday and a high of just 85 degrees Fahrenheit. The rain could cause some flash flooding in Clark County’s rural areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sunday and Monday, however, look ideal, with little chance of rain and sunny skies with highs in the upper 80s.<\/p>\n

Last-Minute Rooms<\/b><\/h2>\n

Those who booked their Las Vegas Labor Day trips early will save considerably compared to those scrambling to find a room. Casino rooms are available for a stay from today through Monday, but they’re, of course, going for higher rates than normal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Venetian has rooms for $383 a night, including resort fees and taxes. The Mirage is $233, and Treasure Island is $202. More luxurious properties include the Wynn at $501, Aria at $426, Caesars Palace at $432, and Bellagio at $421.<\/p>\n

For budget travelers wishing to stay on the Strip, Harrah’s, Sahara, and Luxor are all about $185 a night. The Excalibur is a bit cheaper at $169. Downtown Las Vegas offers more budget-friendly options. Four Queens is $168, the Downtown Grand is $155, and Fremont is $138.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tourism officials<\/a> believe the strong demand for Labor Day in Las Vegas will generate a total economic impact of $676.2 million. Direct spending in Clark County is estimated at $382.6 million.<\/p>\n

Topping Charts<\/h2>\n

For the many visitors arriving in Las Vegas<\/a> by car via Southern California, state transportation officials say the busiest time on Interstate 15 will be between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Monday.<\/p>\n

Nationwide, AAA expects<\/a> this Labor Day to be one of the busiest on record, despite some travelers pulling back their plans because of high costs.<\/p>\n

\n

If not the busiest, it’ll certainly be right there at the top,”<\/strong> said AAA spokesperson Clay Ingram. “Most of our holidays this year have broken the record high set in 2019.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“We expect Labor Day this year to follow suit and probably set an all-time high,” Ingram concluded.<\/p>\n

Star-Studded Weekend<\/b><\/h2>\n

Las Vegas always has plenty of headliners, but Labor Day brings out all the stars and even more A-listers. For the 2023 holiday, notable performers include Drake at T-Mobile Arena, Lady Gaga at Park MGM, LL Cool J at MGM Grand, and Luke Bryan at Resorts World.<\/p>\n

UNLV also kicks off its football season on Saturday against Bryant University at Allegiant Stadium<\/a>. The game will attract some Las Vegas visitors who want to check out the Raiders’ home digs. Tickets are as low as $15. For the Raiders’ home opener on Sept. 24 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the cheapest tickets begin at more than $400.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
