View of the Las Vegas Strip,
Las Vegas Boulevard South
Location Information:
Las
Vegas Strip is an approximately
3.8-mile (6.1 km) stretch of Las
Vegas Boulevard South in Clark
County, Nevada. The Strip lies in
the unincorporated areas of Paradise
and Winchester. Most of "the Strip"
has been designated an All-American
Road.
Many of the largest hotel, casino
and resort properties in the world
are located on the world famous Las
Vegas Strip. Nineteen of the world's
25 largest hotels by room count are
on the Strip, with a total of over
67,000 rooms. One of the 19, the Las
Vegas Hilton, is an "off-Strip"
property but is located less than
0.5 miles (0.80 km) east of the
Strip.
Several decades ago, Las Vegas
Boulevard South was called Arrowhead
Highway, or Los Angeles Highway. The
Strip was reportedly named by Los
Angeles police officer Guy McAfee,
after his hometown's Sunset Strip.
One of
the most visible aspects of Las
Vegas' cityscape is its use of
dramatic architecture. The
modernization of hotels, casinos,
restaurants, and residential
high-rises on the Strip has
established the city as one of the
most popular destinations for
tourists
