Question of the Day - 01 June 2022

Q:

About how many total hotel rooms are there, including Strip, downtown, and locals joints, but not including small motels and such?

A:

According to Statista.com, Las Vegas in 2021 had a total of 150,487 hotel rooms. That would include all hotels, including the Strip, downtown, locals casinos, and non-casino properties. 

Statista reports that the 2021 total was up from 143,117 in 2020, which dropped from 149,422 in 2019. The 4.2% decline in room count was, no doubt, due to the pandemic, in which several hotels closed completely, including the Palms (703 rooms), Texas Station (200), Fiesta Rancho (100), Fiesta Henderson (224), and Eastside Cannery (307), while the rest were hotels that were slow to bring back their full room inventory. 

In 2021, 3,500 rooms were added back by Resorts World and 777 rooms by Circa (late December 2020, but close enough). The remaining 3,000 rooms were probably added from new non-casino chain-hotel inventory, reopened after being shut down (Lucky Dragon, for example) or remodeling, and/or reconfigured, such as suites.

Statista has a graph that tracks the Las Vegas room inventory since the year 2000. It shows that in 2009, the number of rooms was just under 149,000. The count fluctuated by no more than 2,000 rooms up until 2020, reflecting the lack of new properties opening during that time.

    300,000 people a day
    so if you average 2 people per room , about 300,000 people per day. so thats like all the people that live in St. Louis or Pittsburgh or Cincinnati visit each day. and that does not count those who do not stay the night.

    No room at the inn?
    I've visited Las Vegas often during busy times, like major boxing match weekends, very large conventions, music festivals, etc. But never had a problem getting a room or hearing of totally soldout conditions. Makes me wonder if all the hotels on the Strip, Fremont St, Boulder Hwy and other nearby places like The Orleans, Gold Coast, Silverton, etc are ever all completely full of guests. Probably not.

    Plenty of room at the inn...
    I think the highest reported combined occupancy rate for Las Vegas hotels was about 87% back in the days before the covid crisis. So 13% of all rooms were available, which is almost 20,000 empty rooms. But that data might be averaged over a month or 3 months reporting period. So I suppose on some jam-packed dates in particular like New Years it could be different. But I bet if you arrived without a room reservation you could find a room someplace, although it might be at the Hostel Cat or a rundown motel.
