The Strip

 

In the strictest sense, "the Strip" refers only to the stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard that is roughly between Sahara Avenue and Russell Road, a distance of 4.2 miles (6.8 km). The strip is the ultimate destination in Las Vegas and grandeur per say. A riot of-color, neon lights, replica of old heroes, cities, Ceaser, Venetian, Marsells etc.  It also boasts of a Madam Tussaud, an Eiffel Tower. It's a sheer joy, being here. Most of the places that we see  are  within walking distance of the Main Strip.  We can see the sights of the Bellagio Fountains, pass through many luxury hotels, and encounter vibrant bars and nightclubs. Many of the largest hotel, casino, and resort properties in the world are on the Strip, known for its contemporary architecture, lights, and wide variety of attractions. Its hotels, casinos, restaurants, residential high-rises, entertainment offerings, and skyline have established the Strip as one of the most popular and iconic tourist destinations in the world and is one of the driving forces for Las Vegas's economy. Most of the Strip has been designated as an All-American Road, and the North and South Las Vegas Strip routes are classified as Nevada Scenic Byways and National Scenic Byways.
