McCarran Airport In Las Vegas Has Busiest Month Ever In May

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas officials say the city's airport had its busiest month in history in May when more than 4.36 million passengers traveled there.

The Clark County Aviation Department reported Monday that last month was the 15th month in a row where passenger traffic at McCarran International Airport increased.

More than 20 million passengers flew into or out of McCarran so far this year.

The growing visitation is putting the airport on a path to break its record 48.5 million passengers in 2017.

The airport is considered the eighth-busiest in the country.
