Las Vegas – A new report ranked the city second nationwide for the sharpest increases in expenses tied to family vacations.[1][2]
Sharp Increases Outpace National Trends
Researchers at Luxury Link examined costs for a four-night getaway for a family of four across 100 U.S. cities. The study compared prices from 2019 to 2025, factoring in round-trip airfares for four passengers, two hotel rooms for four nights, three daily meals per person, and a four-day car rental.[2]
Data came from sources like the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics and General Services Administration per diem rates. Nationwide, total costs climbed 14.5 percent to an average of $4,668. Las Vegas experienced a steeper 24.8 percent jump, placing it near the top.
Mountain West destinations led the surge, with 20 cities posting gains of 19 percent or higher. Such regional pressures exceeded the broader U.S. pattern significantly.
Top Cities Facing the Biggest Jumps
Albuquerque topped the list with a 27.7 percent rise, followed closely by Las Vegas at 24.8 percent. Other hotspots included Spokane and Salt Lake City, both around 23.8 to 24.8 percent.
- Albuquerque, NM: +27.7%
- Las Vegas, NV: +24.8%
- Spokane, WA: +24.8%
- Salt Lake City, UT: +23.8%
- Phoenix, AZ: +23.8%
