Laredo, if you look into the figures that are posted you will find an article in the Rapid City Journal back in I believe 2014 explaining all the different info used to count total visitors. We were part of the experience in the 75th anniversary where there were a record 750,000+ visitors and it wasn't all that busier then usual. The count is for total visitors (not motorcycles, but visitors) and remember the vast majority are only there for a few days. I might add, don't base your ideas of the rally around the TV shows. Sort of like reality TV some truth and some fantasy! But there is probably no riding anywhere in the country with the sites, highways and activities as the Rapid City area.
