Tourism in Nevada: The Wealth of a State

“We’ve seen a lot of diversification in the economy throughout the state over the last ten to fifteen years,” said Ben McDonald, senior director of communications and public affairs with the Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitor’s Authority. “It’s created a much healthier, vibrant and sustainable economy for the state. But, tourism is still the number one driver for the economy throughout the state.”
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) recorded 38,829,300 visitors in 2022. A rise in gaming numbers in Clark County alone has brought in over a billion dollars each month for over 25 months straight. Convention attendance continues to rebound. It’s not yet reached pre-COVID numbers, but is up by 126 percent. According to the Nevada Resort Association (NRA), the leisure and tourism industry provided over $90 billion dollars in total economic output during 2022. In addition, the industry is looking forward to nearly $23 billion planned capital investments throughout the state.
