Some visitors are paying as much as 2,000 a night!
“It's estimated over two billion people around the world will consume some part of this event. It just helps Cleveland in so many ways in terms of continuing to enhance the perception of Cleveland,” said David Gilbert, the CEO of the Greater Cleveland Sports Commission.
“It's the kind of event that people pay a lot of money to buy their tickets and come in from all over the country or all over the world to take part in. The hotels are packed, they're packed at a very expensive rate,” said Gilbert. “It's the money that is spent. Millions and tens of millions in the production of this event. It's the money that tens of thousands of visitors spend while they're here and leading up to,” he said.
“I thought it would be a cool idea to kind of get income from my home that I can put right back into it. So, it’s really worked out,” she said. “A lot of people are. Whether they’re looking for duplexes, or places that have a carriage house in the back, or lower-level like mine. Sometimes it’s someone that wants to owner occupy. Sometimes I get people that are looking at it, strictly, from an investment to Airbnb it.
