We generalize bounds of Liu-Wan-Xiao for slopes in eigencurves for definite unitary groups of rank 2 to slopes in eigenvarieties for definite unitary groups of any rank. We show that for a definite unitary group of rank n, the Newton polygon of the characteristic power series of the Up Hecke operator has exact growth rate x^1+\frac2n(n-1), times a constant proportional to the distance of the weight from the boundary of weight space. The proof goes through the classification of forms associated to principal series representations. We also give a consequence for the geometry of these eigenvarieties over the boundary of weight space.
