TRAVEL & TOURISM

29 Million Visited Las Vegas in 1995: The figure broke the record for visitor attendance, set the year before, and is a 2.8% increase, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority said. Reinforcing its reputation as the world’s premier casino and resort destination, Clark County showed a 5.3% increase in gaming revenues to $5.7 billion. Conventions increased 6.2% to 2,826, which represented 2.9 million delegates and a non-gaming economic impact of $3.3 billion, a 10.7% increase over 1994. All three categories were records. The bureau predicts the 1995 figures will be eclipsed this year with the opening of the Stratosphere, Monte Carlo and New York-New York resorts.
