  • Las Vegas led growth with RevPAR up 29.0% to $162.01, supported by higher occupancy and rates boosted by a Phish residency and two Morgan Wallen shows.
  • Miami recorded the biggest jump in room prices, with ADR up 16.6% to $335.90 tied to the Miami Grand Prix.
  • Tampa posted the largest occupancy gain among major markets, up 14.4% to 76.9%.
  • Results also moved the other way, as San Francisco declined after the RSA cybersecurity conference shifted weeks, underscoring how single-week figures can swing with event calendars.
