Ah, the days before social distancing. Mosey on back soon, “Atomic Saloon.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n13. Visitors in 2019 were likely to be married (73%). Why do you think they need to get away to Las Vegas?<\/p>\n
14. More than one in five visitors (21%) were retired. That number looks wonky, but nobody is allowed to question the LVCVA’s study. It’s the law.<\/p>\n
15. The average visitor’s age was 46.2. Average age they claimed to be in casino bars: 32.2.<\/p>\n
16. Over three-quarters (77%) of 2019 visitors were white. If the LVCVA could stop randomly surveying mostly white people, that’d be great.<\/p>\n
17. Nine percent of respondents were in Las Vegas to attend a convention, trade show or corporate meeting. Note: Please refer back to #13. They didn’t say those married people were here with their spouse. Hello, Sapphire Gentlemen’s Club.<\/p>\n
18. About 21% of Las Vegas visitors came from California. Which explains why so many casinos are using these annoying paper straws.<\/p>\n
19. Just 18% of visitors took taxis when traveling around Las Vegas. About 9% tried walking and really, really regretted that decision.<\/p>\n
20. In 2019, 14% of visitors were from foreign countries, the smallest proportion over the past five years. Ditto 2020, times infinity.<\/p>\n
We just saved you 82 pages of skimming! We trust you are expressing your appreciation to your computer or smartphone right now.<\/p>\n
We can only imagine what these numbers are going to look like in the next annual report.<\/p>\n
While the Las Vegas Visitor Profile Study has its faults, it’s often a way to see trends as they’re unfolding.<\/p>\n
For example, the number of people from California visiting Las Vegas has dropped 10% over the last four years. Las Vegas casino companies need to come to grips with the fact increased competition (since the advent of legal gambling across the U.S.) is eating away at our visitation.<\/p>\n
Visitation was in trouble even before the COVID-19 kerfuffle, yet prices continue to rise.<\/p>\n
On the bright side, in 2019, 99% of visitors said they were satisfied with their visit to Las Vegas. That satisfaction rate was just 76% in 2017. That was the year the Cosmopolitan started charging for parking. Just saying.<\/p>\n
