The opening of the Wynn Las Vegas mega resort and the big security industry trade show both helped in attracting record numbers of tourists to Las Vegas in April this year. Around 3.3 Million visitors came visiting to the city that’s nearly one-and-a-half percent above the number of people who came in April last year.

All this helped push the room rates up benefiting the Las Vegas rental and real estate market. Average daily room rates also topped 100 dollars and stood at $107.26. That’s up more than 15 percent from a year ago.

More than 12.7 Million people came to town in the first four months of the year according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. That’s up one-point-four percent compared with the first four months of 2004.

If this trend continues then Las Vegas tourist arrivals will easily break the record 37.4 Million visitors from last year.
