Make sure to have good walking shoes to hop around hotels. If you have children, bring a lot of water to drink! Address: The Strip of Las VegasDirections: The Strip-from the North Strip of Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino to the end of the South Strip of the Stratosphere Hotel & Casino
|
The Strip runs from the Stratosphere at the northern end to Mandalay Bay on the southern end. Of the 4 miles, nearly 3.5 miles of it is located in the township of Paradise, Clark County. Depending on the definition, very little to none of it is within the Las Vegas city limits. McCarran Airport (LAS) is located at the southern end of The Strip, along with the famous Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign, which also appears in the median of Las Vegas Boulevard at the north end near the intersection of E. St. Louis and S. Main Street. The "South Strip" is used to describe the section of Las Vegas Boulevard between Sunset Road or Blue Diamond Road and St. Rose Parkway.
The Strip is a world of its own. Where else can you go to visit Egypt, New York, the Tropics, King and Queens, Rome/Greece, Hollywood, and much more all on one street? This is the street of lights, excitement, and dreams. Some dreams come true becoming great successes and others sadly die. The Strip is competitive and one only has to look down the street at night to see this. Each property has to not only keep up with the others, but to also attract and keep their visitors. All of this takes nerve, imagination, and creativity. Just take a good look at any of these structures. There is creativity all around them. The dreams of owners, architects, designers, interior decorators, and employees are all wrapped up into these architectural wonders and off course to induce people to go to their hotels and casino's not only to gamble but to SPEND MONEY!

NORTH STRIP:
Circus - Circus. I do not like this casino. It is noisy. It was designed many years ago as a place for families. In the buffet I felt like I was in a giant food fight. But if you want to see a free circus this is your place.
Riviera -- this is the FIRST casino I ever visited. It is still very "old-style." You can get a feel for the way Vegas was formerly just gambling and shows. The buffet was good a few years ago, the rooms usually are a bargain, and some of the shows are really good. This is NO LONGER a good location along the Strip.
Westward Ho -- I just HAD to stop here. They have some very good prices and it is worth visiting once. Old time western theme.
Stardust -- another throw-back to old LV. You will almost always find cheap rooms here. If you don't mind walking to the center of the Strip you might like this.
Frontier -- another older casino. Clearly western themed. Again, you might find really cheap rooms.
CENTER STRIP:
Treasure Island - this one will be renovated and the pirate show has changed. This was a more modern destination for families and I like the buffet. With the monorail to the Mirage this was always a good location.
Venetian - this is a MUST VISIT. Even if you've been to Venice it is still nice. There is a lot to see and the ceiling art work is a marvel. DO visit the shops!
Mirage -- the second casino where I ever stayed and the reason I fell in love with Las Vegas. Beautiful lobby - a true paradice. This is a classy place.
Harrah's -- From the people who bring you many riverboats this is a nice place. Catch the good free entertainment in a lounge.
Casino Royale -- more like a fast-food restaurant this place is tucked away as one of the many small casinos in Vegas. I would skip it unless you want to say you have been in them all.

Monte Carlo -- a fine place with the best value of a show in Vegas: Lance Burton. Go for the show, stay to visit the brewery! Oh, and the buffet is very nice, too.
New York, New York -- if you are visiting theme casinos you'll want to see this one. It is very different and you do not get the feeling that you are in one big room as with many casinos. The Sports Book is particularly appealing here.
MGM Grand -- the "big tuna" of casino hotels. I love the buffet and the atmosphere is very good. Yet it is a monster of a place. Good restaurants, nice shows -- the central lounge often has great entertainment.
Tropicana -- don't ask me why I like this casino. I guess it reminds me of "old Las Vegas." You'll see older balding guys and the casino is actually small. Yet the tropical theme always draws me in. Sometimes the steel drum band or another lounge act is really fun.
Excaliber -- to ME, kids and gambling don't really fit. So I tend not to spend much time here. It is loud and full of kids. But if you like Midieval Times you'll like this.
Luxor -- DO NOT MISS THIS property! Home of the fabulous King Tut museum, the Blue Man Group show, and - hey - it is a pyramid!
Mandaly Bay - home to the best pool in Vegas, the Shark Reef, and more. While I find the casino (one big room feeling) a bit boring there is too much you want to see here to pass it up. Leave a Comment

One of the two "centers" of the city "The Strip" is a 3.5 miles (6 km) section of Las Vegas Boulevard. Here is where the cluster of "themed" hotels lies, including Luxor, New York New York, Treasure Island, Venetian, Paris and Bellagio. The views are best at night when the lights are on.

With sunshine hours over 75% throughout the year, why not get out and see Las Vegas the good old fashioned way - step by step along the world famous Strip!
The Strip is 4 miles (6.6 km) of Las Vegas Boulevard South. Whilst only part of The Strip is located within the city limits of Las Vegas, Nevada (the section north of Sahara Avenue), the section south of Sahara Avenue is actually in Clark County's unincorporated Township of Paradise, Nevada - aptly named as many visiting Las Vegas are looking to find paradise via a huge jackpot win from one of the casinos many slots which are located along the length of The Strip.
Many of the largest hotel, casino and resort properties in the world are located on The Strip and it is these which people come to see during their visit.
If you are staying at a hotel along The Strip, you can walk in one direction and return via the monorail. Address: Las Vegas Boulevard SouthDirections: Unmissable.
