Thank you for your contributions to the Las Vegas recovery.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n13. About one in five (19%) visitors attended a show during their visit in 2021. In recent years, the number has always been more than 50%. Some blame the brutal decrease in show attendance on the pandemic, we blame Criss Angel.<\/p>\n
14. Of those surveyed, 56% were married. Interestingly, the survey didn’t ask if they were visiting Las Vegas with their spouse. Conclusion: The LVCVA is helping people cheat on their spouses. Data is fun!<\/p>\n
15. In 2021, 15% of Las Vegas visitors were retirees.<\/p>\n
16. More than half (54%) of visitors were 40 years old or older.<\/p>\n
17. The average visitor’s age was 43.2.<\/p>\n
18. Las Vegas visitors in 2021 were more ethnically diverse than in recent years: 56% white, 17% African-American, 6% Asian, 19% Hispanic and 3% “other.” We’re thinking “other” refers to the Ambonese, but the Ambonese are very humble, so they’re not all, “Hey, we’re South Moluccans, put us in your visitor survey!”<\/p>\nClearly, the Ambonese need a better PR firm.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n19. Thirty percent of Las Vegas visitors were from California, hence the ongoing kale shortage.<\/p>\n
20. A solid 29% of visitors said their household income was $100,000 or more. Yes, LVCVA surveys are a wonderful way to humble brag.<\/p>\n
21. Just three percent of Las Vegas visitors were from foreign countries. In 2019, it was 14%. In 2018, it was 20%. Las Vegas nads required a lot of ice packs in 2021.<\/p>\n
We hope you enjoyed our breezy romp through the 2021 Las Vegas Visitor Profile.<\/p>\n
The survey reflects some of the weirdness that was 2021, pandemicwise. Three big factors that affected survey results: 1) Travel restrictions, 2) COVID mandates and 3) people losing their damn minds.<\/p>\n
Las Vegas relies heavily on international whales and convention attendees, both were in short supply in 2021.<\/p>\n
Despite the challenges, such as staffing shortages and COVID mitigation procedures, 96% of those surveyed said they were satisfied with their visit to Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
Tellingly, the percentage of visitors who said they were “very satisfied” was 70% in 2021, down from 94% in 2019 and 90% in 2018. Yes, there was significantly more whining in 2021. That wasn’t just a Las Vegas thing.<\/p>\n
A hefty 48% of visitors said Las Vegas exceeded their expectations, and 46% said it met their expectations.<\/p>\n
That’s right, Las Vegas is still kicking ass and taking surveys.<\/p>\n

Everyone knows blog comment threads are a more reliable measure of visitor sentiment than any survey, so let’s hear it. Your thank-you souvenir is our undying gratitude. Let us know what you get for that on eBay.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
