Quantifying the Economic and Fiscal Impacts of a $90-Billion Industry That Supports 385,000 Local Jobs

We know what Las Vegas does best—and that is delivering an unmatched, world-class experience that leaves a lasting impression on every visitor and supports every business that chooses to host an event here. This annual report plays a vital role in measuring the impact of tourism on our community and economy, and it informs and inspires our continued efforts to innovate, improve and ensure that Las Vegas remains a place where unforgettable experiences happen.

Each year, Applied Analysis measures the full reach of Southern Nevada’s tourism economy. Using the Las Vegas Visitor Profile Study from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority as a foundation, the analysis captures direct visitor spending and the ripple effects that move through local suppliers and households. The results quantify total economic output, wages and salaries paid and the jobs supported by tourism across the region.
