Note: I like using Las Vegas as a measure of recovery for both leisure (visitors) and business (conventions).

From the Las Vegas Visitor Authority: June 2023 Las Vegas Visitor Statistics

Punctuated by the Vegas Golden Knights' victorious quest for the Stanley Cup, Las Vegas visitation in June surpassed last year as the destination hosted more than 3.4M visitors, +3.1% YoY.

Overall hotel occupancy reached 85.5% for the month (+2.8 pts YoY). Weekend occupancy matched last June, reaching 90.2% (+0.2 pts YoY), and Midweek occupancy reached 83.5%, surpassing last June by 3.5 pts.

Overall ADR exceeded $165, +5.3% from June 2022 while RevPAR reached $141, +8.8% YoY
