News Summary
Amid rising travel costs and a decline in summer travel intentions, Las Vegas resorts are offering enticing staycation deals to attract local residents. Promotions include discounts on accommodations, entertainment, and dining. Options range from complimentary parking and waived resort fees to special packages that enhance the summer experience without the need to travel far. Key resorts like Resorts World, South Point, and Golden Nugget are tweaking their offers to cater to locals and build tourism as travel habits shift.
Las Vegas resorts are rolling out attractive summer staycation deals as recent trends reveal that only 46% of U.S. adults plan to travel during the summer months. A survey conducted by Bankrate indicates that the rising costs associated with travel have prompted about one in ten Americans to opt for staycations instead of vacationing away from home. This shift in consumer behavior has significantly impacted tourism in Las Vegas, leading local resorts to develop appealing offers aimed particularly at local residents.
In response to declining travel intentions, numerous Las Vegas resorts are introducing specials that not only enhance the summer experience but also make it more affordable for those choosing to stay close to home. For instance, Resorts World is offering complimentary parking for all guests until August 28. Additionally, locals who enroll in the Genting Rewards program can enjoy a 20% discount on hotel accommodations, dining, and spa services, along with free entry to the Zouk Nightclub on Thursdays.
