“We price out our vacations and this one was more affordable with plenty of things to do so it worked for us,” Ohio native, Cathy Johnson shared.

Harry Reid International Airport officials said more than five million travelers came through its doors last month. That’s over a 5% increase compared to 2023.

Overall, travel at Harry Reid International Airport is up more than 2% for the entire year.
