We all know how quickly life has changed in the past two months.

The once-bustling Las Vegas Strip is bereft of tourists and traffic. Nonessential businesses, including casinos and tourist attractions across the valley, are shuttered.

The Review-Journal’s Mick Akers reported on Jan. 29 that McCarran International Airport set a record in 2019 with 51.5 million travelers passing through its gates.

In December, more than 4.2 million travelers were catching flights in and out of McCarran, pushing the overall number past 50 million for the first time.

McCarran took measures to consolidate operations through the month of April, leaving the airport a virtual ghost town.
