LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — Flyer figures for Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas tumbled again in September, continuing the ongoing worries about tourism for the region.
More than 4.45 million arriving and departing passengers flew through the airport last month, per new figures from the Clark County Department of Aviation.
That’s down 6.4% compared to September 2024, when the airport recorded 4.76 million flyers.
It’s a new indicator that Las Vegas’ tourism slump stretched into the fall, though only one day tied to the Labor Day holiday fell in September this year, compared to two days last year.
