  • Las Vegas Casino and Hotel Market Outlook 2021
    Superior Results Through Unrivaled Hospitality Intelligence. Everywhere. FEBRUARY 2021 LAS VEGAS CASINO AND HOTEL MARKET OUTLOOK 2021 Shannon S. Okada, MAI Managing Director, Gaming HVS Gaming 8545 W. Warm Springs Road, A-4 #336 Las Vegas, Nevada 89113 HVS Gaming Division www.hvs.com HVS.com 8445 W. Warm Springs Road, A-4 #336, Las Vegas, NV 89117 USA The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Las Vegas economy has been extremely harsh given the market’s reliance on visitation and conventions. Following five consecutive years of accommodating more than 42 million visitors, Las Vegas hosted just over 19 million people in 2020 (the lowest number of visitors since 18.1 million in 1989). While vaccination rollouts have begun in Nevada, measures to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus remain in place. Continued weak performance is anticipated through the first half of 2021. Thereafter, the recovery of travel and general economic performance is expected to accelerate as vaccines, medical therapies, and public confidence support the beginning of the return to pre-pandemic levels. Fortunately, construction is classified as an essential business in Nevada and has continued throughout the pandemic. New developments will contribute to the eventual recovery of the market. COVID-19 PANDEMIC On March 17, 2020, Nevada’s Governor Steve Sisolak ordered the closure of Nevada’s nonessential businesses and urged residents to implement social‐distancing measures to reduce spreading the COVID‐19 virus. The Las Vegas economy was devastated in April and May 2020 due to the shutdown of businesses. Governor Sisolak authorized certain businesses, including restaurants, barbershops, hair salons, and most retail businesses, to reopen with limitations beginning May 9, 2020, and Nevada began its emergence from the pandemic shutdown.

    LAS VEGAS Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Las Vegas | 2019 0 Sin City, Lost Wages, or the City of Lights: no matter what you call it, Las Vegas is indisputably the entertainment capital of the world. The city is best known for its mega- resorts, casinos, nightlife– and of course, the world-famous Las Vegas Strip. In addition to its mega-resort patrons, Las Vegas hosts over 6.6 million meeting and convention attendees each year in its 11 million square feet (sf) of meeting and exhibit space, more than any other city in the United States. In the past few decades, Las Vegas has also become one of the top fine dining and upscale shopping cities in the world. Many famous chefs have established restaurants in Las Vegas, including Wolfgang Puck, Bobby Flay, Pierre Gagnaire, Joel Robuchon, Gordon Ramsay, Guy Savoy, Giada De Laurentiis and Alain Ducasse, just to name a few. Many of these restaurants are housed in the seemingly endless supply of four- and five-star hotels including the Bellagio, Caesars, Four Seasons, Wynn and Aria Resort. Since the Great Recession, Las Vegas has experienced double-digit gains in taxable sales and housing values, along with record highs in visitors to the city. More telling is the number of new projects and developments that have opened or been announced recently, including new sports stadiums for minor league baseball, hockey and of LAS VEGAS course football. Other major anticipated projects include Resorts World by Genting, Park MGM, the new mega- resort taking the place of the Monte Carlo, Waldorf Astoria OVERVIEW taking the place of the Mandarin Oriental, Area 15, the virtual reality, art and entertainment destination just west of the Strip and the Madison Square Garden Sphere, 360- foot spherical music venue and entertainment complex that will be connected to the Venetian and Palazzo by a pedestrian bridge.
