LAS VEGAS -- The volume of visitors to Las Vegas increased in August with a stronger showing of conventioneers, but the added visitors didn't gamble as much as fewer visitors did during the same month last year.
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority said Tuesday that Las Vegas saw 3.3 million visitors in August, 2.8 percent more than the same month last year.
The tourism agency says gambling revenues were down 6.7 percent in Clark County during August compared with August 2010. The boost in the number of visitors was helped by a nearly 20 percent increase in convention attendance during the month. That helped boost hotel occupancy citywide to 84.1 percent with higher room rates.
Visitation to Las Vegas is up 4.7 percent for the first eight months this year.
