Las Vegas, Nevada - Walking the Strip

The Las Vegas Strip, which is also referred to as "The Strip" is roughly a 6.5 km length of Las Vegas Boulevard South in Paradise and Winchester, Nevada. "The Strip" is south of the Las Vegas city limits. A lot of the better known hotels, casinos and resorts in Las Vegas are located on The Strip. One of the most, if not the most visible and memorable aspects of Las Vegas' cityscape and culture is its employment of dramatic themes. Because of the hotels, casinos, and restaurants on "The Strip" that use these heavy themes, Las Vegas has established itself as a popular vacation destination for tourists.

Las Vegas Boulevard is full of glitz and glam of unrivaled proportions. It's very easy to say that "The Strip" is over the top. "The Strip" is the main thoroughfare of gambling U.S.A. and home to most of the countries best and most well known hotels and casinos. No trip to Vegas is complete without a stroll down the Strip at night. The culture is evident in blaze of blinking lights and ocean of humanity making its way to winning slot machines. Evenings are also the most comfortable time of day to be outdoors. So don't sleep too early, take your stroll under the stars and bask in the glow. A couple of attractions that I recommend are the Mirage for its trademark volcano and Treasure Island for the pirate battle. The best of section of "The Strip" is located between Sahara and Tropicana Avenue.
