Dubai overtakes Las Vegas in hotel count: <\/strong>Dubai now boasts more hotel rooms than Las Vegas, cementing its position as one of the world\u2019s largest hospitality markets, Bloomberg<\/a> reports, citing data from CoStar Group. The emirate doubled its available hotel beds over the past decade to 151.8k as it looked to pivot from a transit hub to a destination in and of itself, and now only trails London\u2019s 152.7k rooms, excluding Chinese cities that rely heavily on domestic tourism.<\/p>\n

The next wave: <\/strong>Dubai has 56 hotels under construction \u2014 adding more than 15k rooms \u2014 including the <\/span>Ciel Tower<\/a>, due to open in November as the world\u2019s tallest hotel. Much of the new supply is concentrated in the luxury and upper-upscale segments, and the hotel push comes alongside similar efforts in the culinary, sports, and entertainment sectors, as the Emirates looks to draw more numbers in.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tourism momentum: <\/strong>The boom is fueled by record international arrivals through DXB and steady GCC visitor demand. Hotel occupancy averaged 83% between January and May 2025, up from 81% a year earlier, even as Las Vegas reported monthly declines since February as the US\u2019 tariff agenda weighed on inbound visitors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
