Las Vegas authority projects 331,000 visitors for Labor Day weekend
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority projected 331,000 visitors to Las Vegas over Labor Day weekend, up 3.4% from a year earlier. It forecast visitor spending of $417.4 million, a 12.7% increase, and hotel occupancy of 92%.

The July figures distinguish weakness on the Strip from growth in downtown and locals casino revenue.
