A report released Friday by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority says almost 3.5 million people came to Las Vegas last month, compared with about 3.4 million in June 2013. Convention attendance climbed 13.7 percent year-over-year, mostly because shows that weren't held in Las Vegas last year rotated in and a new show.
The international audiovisual expo InfoComm returned, drawing 37,000 people, and the newcomer American Library Association had 20,300 attendees.
