With continued mandated restrictions on group sizes, no measurable convention attendance occurred during the month.

Based on the destination’s room inventory of 95,396 rooms* (excluding temporary closures), total occupancy reached 40.9% for the month with weekend occupancy coming in at 51.8% and midweek occupancy of 36.5%.
