Las Vegas Bouncing Back From COVID: Sellout Of 9,568 At Las Vegas Ballpark Friday Evening

By Alan Snel of LVSportsBiz.com

Las Vegas came back this week.

More than 18,000 fans crammed into T-Mobile Arena to watch Vegas Golden Knights clinch a second round series against the Colorado Avalanche.

Thousands at the World of Concrete trade show walked the Las Vegas Convention Center new west hall and checked out the free underground Tesla car rides from hall to hall at the convention center just east of the Strip.

It was the first major trade show in Las Vegas in 16 month since the COVID-19 pandemic shut down this convention city in the desert in March 2020.

 

And on Friday night, 9,568 was the announced attendance at the Las Vegas Aviators baseball game in Summerlin. It was considered a sellout at the ballpark, where the Aviators defeated the Reno Aces, 8-3.
