Key Takeaways

Las Vegas tourism is working to win back visitors after a rough 2025. Visitor volume fell 7.5% last year to 38.5 million. Hotel occupancy came in at 80.3%, but average daily room rates slipped 5% year over year.
Now the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) is bringing back its signature discount push. The Vegas 5-Day Sale launched Tuesday, Sept. 22, and runs through Saturday, Sept. 26. More than 180 limited-time deals cover hotels, dining, entertainment and attractions.
The promotion arrives as 2026 data show tentative signs of stabilization across the resort corridor.
Las Vegas Tourism Shows Early Signs of Stabilizing in 2026
Las Vegas visitor volume is up just 0.5% year to date through July, according to LVCVA figures. That modest gain suggests the steep 2025 decline has leveled off. On the Strip, room rates have climbed 3.5% this year, while occupancy has remained roughly flat compared with 2025. Convention business helped cushion the downturn, drawing 5.99 million delegates in 2025.
Harry Reid International Airport handled more than 4.4 million passengers in July alone, pointing to a steady pipeline of potential visitors. The LVCVA is tracking these indicators closely, and officials say the data will shape pricing decisions and any further flexibility measures for the rest of the fiscal year.
Vegas 5-Day Sale Deals: Up to 60% Off Rooms Plus Tours and Dining
Caesars Entertainment properties are offering room discounts up to 60% off rooms, with show tickets starting at $50. The company is extending its offers through Sept. 29, three days past the sale's official end.
MGM Resorts is cutting rates by up to 50% at several of its hotels. Other participating resorts, including Wynn and Fontainebleau, offer smaller discounts of 20% to 30%.
Beyond hotel rooms, the sale includes deals on tours, dining and local attractions. Allegiant Stadium is offering 20% off select tours with a promo code, and The Raider Image, the Raiders' official team store, is discounting online orders. Other attractions in the lineup include AREA15 and the Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck at Paris Las Vegas.
Why the LVCVA Is Discounting More Than Just Hotel Rooms
LVCVA Chief Marketing Officer Kate Wik said the sale gives "visitors even more reasons to book the trip they have been talking about."
By featuring entertainment and dining deals alongside room discounts, the LVCVA aims to boost overall visitor spending.
This approach also gives travelers savings across more of their trip budget. How well the sale performs could influence the LVCVA's pricing approach for the rest of its fiscal year. Travelers can browse the full list of deals on the official Visit Las Vegas website through Sept. 26.
