Las Vegas Review-Journal (April 13, 2024) - Las Vegas and tourism go hand in hand. Millions of visitors travel here each year to experience all that our city has to offer — from the casinos on the Strip, to concerts at the Sphere, to major events such as the Super Bowl. More than 40 million people visited Las Vegas in 2022, spending nearly $45 billion — a record. That level of spending is critical for our region’s economic health, but it is also in jeopardy due to a new bill in Congress.
Millions of visitors to Las Vegas rely on credit card rewards to fund their travel. It’s a simple concept: Use a credit card to make purchases, earn airline miles, hotel points and cash back, and use those rewards to save money when booking a trip. A new survey from the U.S. Tourism Economy Alliance shows just how critical these rewards are for travelers. The survey finds that of the 80 percent of Americans using credit cards with rewards, seven in 10 say they would cut travel spending if those rewards were to be reduced or eliminated.
