McCarran International Airport reported a solid 9.8% increase in passenger traffic during January of 2005 following a record breaking 2004 total. More than 3.27 million arriving and departing passengers came through the Las Vegas airport in January, the Clark County Aviation Department said Monday. Department data show McCarran has posted positive growth for each month since August 2003. Airport officials and industry experts have attributed this consistent growth to Las Vegas’ record popularity, as well as renewed growth in business travel after a multi-year slump. The Las Vegas economy continues to perform and 2005 looks like a banner year so far. The market for Las Vegas real estate has remained solid as well, and there is no sign of a bursting bubble. Prices for Las Vegas homes have remained highly stable after an incredible run-up in 2004.
