More people have visited Las Vegas this year than in any other year.

That's according to statistics from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.

More than 42 million people came to the area this year.

That figure does not include crowds who are expected to visit for New Year's Eve festivities this week.

The previous visitor record was set last year, when just over 41 million people came to Las Vegas.

The official number of visitors will be announced and determined this January.
