After a year of declining passenger totals, McCarran International Airport in March saw its numbers begin to get off the ground. Casino revenue in Las Vegas and across the state also was up in March.
This year in March, more than 2.5 million arriving and departing passengers used McCarran Airport, according to the Clark County Department of Aviation.
That figure is about 510,000 more than the number of travelers who made their way through the airport in March 2020, a 25 percent increase.
The airport is south of downtown Las Vegas, on the east side of the Strip near the Tropicana, MGM Grand, and other major hotel-casinos.
