Visitor traffic to McCarran International Airport keeps climbing.
Traffic for the month of July was up more than 2.5 percent as compared to the year before.
Data from the first seven months of the year show traffic overall is up more than five percent from 2015 as well.

But is the airport doing enough to keep up?
