LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – As it turns out, Las Vegas is one of the top destinations in the country for the Labor Day holiday weekend.
The traffic safety at Primm shows how popular the excursion destination into the valley really is at this time of the year.
Across the country, far more Americans traveled that weekend than last year.
However, it’s still less than it was before the pandemic started.
According to Triple-A, since the COVID restrictions were relaxed in mid-March, more people have been driving on the highways for road trips.
Travelers who spoke to 8 News Now say they tried to get on the road early on Monday to avoid traffic.
“It takes almost an hour or two longer than it normally should, you know, just to get home quicker and rest,” says Candice Hernandez, who is also away on holiday weekend.
With the demand for road trips currently high, gasoline prices are definitely reflecting the increase.
Currently, gas prices range from $ 4 for regular unleaded gasoline to $ 4.41 for premium gas.
