Visitorship to downtown increased after we started working there and began photographing Fremont Street with a fisheye lens. Coincidence?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n13. 88% of Vegas visitors surveyed gambled on The Strip, 27% downtown, 6% on the Boulder Strip. The rest “gambled” by fornicating in a unisex restroom, unless we just made that part up.<\/p>\n
14. When visitors were asked how many casinos they visited during their stay, the average was 5.7. The .7 was Casino Royale. It’s adorable.<\/p>\n
15. Of visitors who said they planned to visit somewhere near Vegas before or after their Las Vegas visit (16% said “yes”), the three most popular destinations were the Grand Canyon (67%), Hoover Dam (51%) and Zion National Park (20%).<\/p>\n
16. 8% of Vegas visitors said they’d been to a hotel nightclub that charged a cover charge.<\/p>\n
17. 2% of those surveyed has visited a pool party or day club.<\/p>\nLas Vegas dayclubs. Motto: Anywhere else, you’d be considered the hot one.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n18. 77% of visitors who saw a show in Las Vegas went to a lounge act. Note: Those tend to be free, so not a giant leap in logic.<\/p>\n
19. Among all the visitors surveyed, their average number of visits to Las Vegas over the past five years was 5.7.<\/p>\n
20. 9% of visitors said they’d attended a convention, trade show or corporate meeting while in Las Vegas. Which is like being shot with a tranquilizer dart, but involving a lanyard.<\/p>\n
21. 52% of visitors decided where to gamble after arriving in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
22. 7% of visitors said they’d visited a spa during their trip. Spas just whipped your ass, day clubs.<\/p>\nThe spa at Caesars Palace has a special sauna specifically devoted to keeping robes warm. We’re not kidding.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n23. 68% of visitors said they used the Internet to plan their Vegas trip. Side note: 100% of people used the Internet to read that statistic.<\/p>\n
24. Of those who said they used used social media Web sites during their visit to plan their activities in Las Vegas (28% of all visitors surveyed), 51% said they used Facebook and 34% said they used Twitter.<\/p>\n
25. 30% of visitors arrived in Las Vegas on a weekend, 70% arrived on a weekday.<\/p>\n
Again, these numbers are for 2014, and the survey results were the result of first-person interviews with 3,600 randomly-selected visitors. Second-person interviews are so much less fun, don’t you think?<\/p>\n
Hope you had as much fun looking these over as we did lifting them from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority report. (Here’s the entire report in .pdf format<\/a> if you’re into that kind of thing.)<\/p>\nFor the record, this is as close as we get to enjoying numbers. Other than the ones noting the alcohol content of distilled beverages, of course.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Much like Las Vegas itself, visitors to Sin City can’t be summed up with mere numbers or percentages. Oh, who are we kidding? Everything can be summed up with numbers and percentages!
