4 mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard with many resorts, shows, and casinos

"Vegas Strip" and "The Strip" redirect here. For the TV series, see Vegas Strip (TV series). For other uses, see The Strip (disambiguation).

The Las Vegas Strip is a stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard South in Clark County, Nevada, that is known for its concentration of resort hotels and casinos. The Strip, as it is known, is about &#;mi (&#;km) long,^[1] and is immediately south of the Las Vegas city limits in the unincorporated towns of Paradise and Winchester, but is often referred to simply as "Las Vegas".

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' economy.^[2] Most of the Strip has been designated as an All-American Road,^[3] and the North and South Las Vegas Strip routes are classified as Nevada Scenic Byways and National Scenic Byways.^[4]

Boundaries[edit]

Historically, casinos that were not in Downtown Las Vegas along Fremont Street sat outside the city limits on Las Vegas Boulevard.^[5][6] In , the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign was built^[7] exactly miles (&#;km) outside the city limits. The sign is currently located in the median just south of Russell Road, across from the location of the now-demolished Klondike Hotel and Casino and about miles (&#;km) south of the southernmost entrance to Mandalay Bay, which is the Strip's southernmost casino.

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 miles (&#;km).^[8][9][10] Clark County uses the phrase Resort Corridor to describe the area including Las Vegas Boulevard between Beltway and Sahara Avenue and surrounding areas.^[11]

The Sahara is widely considered the Strip's northern terminus, though travel guides typically extend it to the Strat miles (&#;km) to the north.^[12][13][14]Mandalay Bay, just north of Russell Road, is the southernmost resort considered to be on the Strip^[12] (the Klondike was the southernmost until , when it was closed, although it was not included in the Strip on some definitions and travel guides).^{[citation needed]} The Strip includes the "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign.^[12][15]

History[edit]

Early years (s–s)[edit]

The first casino to be built on Highway 91 was the Pair-o-Dice Club in , but the first casino-resort on what is currently the Strip was the El Rancho Vegas, which opened with 63 rooms on April 3, (and was destroyed by a fire in ).^[16][17] Its success spawned a second hotel on what would become the Strip, the Hotel Last Frontier in ^[18][19]Organized crime figures such as New York's Bugsy Siegel took interest in the growing gaming center, and funded other resorts such as the Flamingo, which opened in , and the Desert Inn, which opened in ^[16] The funding for many projects was provided through the American National Insurance Company, which was based in the then-notorious gambling empire of Galveston, Texas.^[20][21]

The Strip in the s. Pictured is the gas station of the Hotel Last Frontier, the second hotel on the Strip.

Las Vegas Boulevard South was previously called Arrowhead Highway,^[22] or Los Angeles Highway.^{[citation needed]}The Strip was named by Los Angeles police officer and businessman Guy McAfee, after his hometown's Sunset Strip.^[23]

In , mayor Ernie Cragin of the City of Las Vegas sought to annex the Strip, which was unincorporated territory, in order to expand the city's tax base to fund his ambitious building agenda and pay down the city's rising debt.^[24] Instead, Gus Greenbaum of the Flamingo led a group of casino executives to lobby the Clark County commissioners for town status.^[24] Two unincorporated towns were eventually created, Paradise and Winchester.^[25][26] More than two decades later, the Supreme Court of Nevada struck down a Nevada state law that would have folded the Strip and the rest of the urban areas of Clark County into the City of Las Vegas.^[27]

Caesars Palace was established in In , Kirk Kerkorian purchased the Flamingo and hired Sahara Hotels Vice President Alex Shoofey as president. Alex Shoofey brought along 33 of Sahara's top executives.^{[citation needed]} The Flamingo was used to train future employees of the International Hotel, which was under construction.^{[citation needed]} Opening in , the International Hotel, with 1, rooms, began the era of mega-resorts. The International is known as Westgate Las Vegas today. The first MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, also a Kerkorian property, opened in with 2, rooms. At the time, this was one of the largest hotels in the world by number of rooms. The Rossiya Hotel built in in Moscow, for instance, had 3, rooms; however, most of the rooms in the Rossiya Hotel were single rooms of sq. ft (roughly 1/4 size of a standard room at the MGM Grand Resort). On November 21, , the MGM Grand suffered the worst resort fire in the history of Las Vegas as a result of electrical problems, killing 87 people. It reopened eight months later. In , Kerkorian sold the MGM Grand to Bally Manufacturing, and it was renamed Bally's.

The opening of The Mirage in set a new level to the Las Vegas experience, as smaller hotels and casinos made way for the larger mega-resorts.^[28] Some of the key features of The Mirage included tropical landscapes with waterfalls, an erupting volcano, restaurants with world-class chefs, and a show with illusionists Siegfried & Roy.^[29] In the s, more than 12 new hotels opened, including themed hotels like the Luxor, Excalibur, and Mandalay Bay.^[30] At $B, the most expensive hotel in the world at the time, The Bellagio, was built in the s.^[30] These huge facilities offer entertainment and dining options, as well as gambling and lodging.^{[citation needed]} This change affected the smaller, well-known and now historic hotels and casinos, like the Dunes, the Sands, and the Stardust.^{[citation needed]} In , the launch of the Mystére show at the new Treasure Island hotel by Cirque du Soleil marked a key point in transforming Las Vegas Strip entertainment.^[16]

In an effort to attract families, resorts offered more attractions geared toward youth, but had limited success.^[31] The Wet 'n Wild water park opened in and was located on the south side of the Sahara hotel.^[32] It closed at the end of the season and was later demolished.^[33] The current MGM Grand opened in with MGM Grand Adventures Theme Park, but the park closed in due to lack of interest.^{[citation needed]} Similarly, in Treasure Island closed its own video arcade and abandoned the previous pirate theme, adopting the new ti name.^[34]

In addition to the large hotels, casinos and resorts, the Strip is home to many attractions, such as M&M's World, Adventuredome and the Fashion Show Mall. Starting in the mids, the Strip became a popular New Year's Eve celebration destination.^{[citation needed]}

With the opening of Bellagio, Venetian, Palazzo, Wynn and Encore resorts, the strip trended towards the luxurious high end segment through most of the s, while some older resorts added major expansions and renovations, including some de-theming of the earlier themed hotels.^[35][36] High end dining, specialty retail, spas and nightclubs increasingly became options for visitors in addition to gambling at most Strip resorts.^[37][38][39] There was also a trend towards expensive residential condo units on the strip.^[40]

In , MGM Mirage announced plans for CityCenter, a acre (27&#;ha), $7&#;billion multi-use project on the site of the Boardwalk hotel and adjoining land. It consists of hotel, casino, condo, retail, art, business and other uses on the site. CityCenter is currently the largest such complex in the world. Construction began in April , with most elements of the project opened in late Also in , the Las Vegas Strip lost its longtime status as the world's highest-grossing gambling center, falling to second place behind Macau.^[41]

In , the High Roller Ferris wheel and a retail district called The LINQ Promenade broke ground in an attempt to diversify attractions beyond that of casino resorts. Renovations and rebrandings such as The Cromwell Las Vegas and the SLS Las Vegas continued to transform the Strip in The Las Vegas Festival Grounds opened in In , T-Mobile Arena, The Park, and the Park Theater opened.

On October 1, , a mass shooting occurred on the Strip at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival, adjacent to the Mandalay Bay hotel. 60 people were killed and were injured. This incident became the deadliest mass shooting in modern United States history.^[42][43][44]

In , the Monte Carlo Resort and Casino was renamed the Park MGM and in , the SLS changed its name back to Sahara Las Vegas.^[45][46]

In , the Pinball Hall of Fame moved near the "Fabulous Las Vegas" sign at the south end of the Strip.^[47] Also in , Resorts World Las Vegas, the first new hotel-casino built in a decade, opened on the site of the former Stardust Resort and Casino (later the site of the unfinished Echelon Place).^[48]

Future developments[edit]

The MSG Sphere at The Venetian, including a monorail stop, is being built behind The Palazzo and The Venetian. It was scheduled to open in , but has been rescheduled to sometime in ^[49]

The Fontainebleau Las Vegas (formerly the JW Marriott Las Vegas Blvd/The Drew Las Vegas) is expected to open in the fourth quarter of ^[50]

Dream Las Vegas, a casino and story boutique hotel next to Harry Reid International Airport (formerly McCarran Field) is scheduled to begin construction in for an opening in ^[51]

The All Net Resort & Arena was scheduled to break ground in October It will include a 23, seat retractable roof arena, two hotels and a theatre.^[53]

Transportation[edit]

Buses[edit]

RTC Transit (previously Citizens Area Transit, or CAT) provides bus service on the Strip with double decker buses known as The Deuce.^[54] The Deuce runs between Mandalay Bay at the southern end of the Strip (and to the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign and South Strip Transfer Terminal after midnight) to the Bonneville Transit Center (BTC) and the Fremont Street Experience in Downtown Las Vegas, with stops near every casino. RTC also operates an express bus called the Strip and Downtown Express (SDX).^[54] This route connects the Strip to the Las Vegas Convention Center and Downtown Las Vegas to the north, with stops at selected hotels and shopping attractions (Las Vegas Premium Outlets North & South).

Trams[edit]

Several free trams operate between properties on the west side of the Strip:^[55]

Monorail[edit]

While not on the Strip itself, the Las Vegas Monorail runs a mile route on the east side of the Strip corridor from Tropicana Avenue to Sahara Avenue, with stops every 4 to 8 minutes at several on-Strip properties including the MGM Grand and the Sahara at each end of the route.^[56][57] The stations include:^[57]

• SAHARA Las Vegas Station
• Westgate Station
• Las Vegas Convention Center Station
• Harrah's/The LINQ Station
• Flamingo/Caesars Palace Station
• Bally's/Paris Station
• MGM Grand Station

Pedestrian traffic[edit]

Elevated pedestrian footbridge at the corner of Spring Mountain Road and Las Vegas Blvd.

On a daily basis, there are tens of thousands of pedestrians walking along the Strip at any one time.^[60] As of , the daily number of pedestrians on the Strip is approximately 50,^[61]

Concerning pedestrian safety and to help alleviate traffic congestion at popular intersections, several pedestrian footbridges were erected in s and the first was the Tropicana – Las Vegas Boulevard footbridge.^[62][63] Some feature designs that match the theme of the nearby resorts.^{[citation needed]} Additional footbridges have been built on Las Vegas Boulevard.^[64][65] The footbridges include:^[66]

1. Veer Towers:. Connects Veer Towers, Waldorf Astoria, and Crystals Shopping Center

5. Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Blvd. Corner: Connects Bally's, Flamingo, Bellagio, and Caesars Palace
6. Las Vegas Blvd and Tropicana Ave Corner. Connects the MGM Grand, New York-New York, Excalibur, and Tropicana

There has been negative feedback from pedestrians about the elevated crosswalks due to need to walk as much as a quarter-mile to reach an intersection to cross the street and to then walk back some distance on the other side of the street to get to their desired destinations.^[67]

After a driver drove into pedestrians on the sidewalk in front of Paris Las Vegas and Planet Hollywood in December , bollards began to be installed on Las Vegas Blvd. starting in ^[68][69] The construction of the bollards resulted in the removal of 49 of the 82 stars of the Las Vegas Walk of Stars.^[70] In , the bollards on Las Vegas Blvd. were shortened due to feedback from drivers that the bollards were obstructing street views.^[71] of the 4, bollards will be shortened from 54 inches to 36 inches.^[72] The shortened bollards line 20 different driveways.^[73]

Studies conducted by Clark County in and identified issues with congestion.^[74][75] The studies resulted in $5 million of improvements, including LED lights, ADA ramps, containment fencing, widening sidewalks, and removing permanent obstructions, such as signs, signposts, trash cans, and fire hydrants.^[74][75] The studies also identified non-permanent obstructions causing congestion, such as street performers, vendors, handbillers, signholders, and illegal street gambling.^[75] Modifications to non-obstruction zones and increased enforcement were implemented in order to reduce congestion.^[75]
