Known for fun and excitement, this city in the desert serves up all kinds of possibilities for travelers. The Strip, Las Vegas’ famous resort-lined street, sparkles with lights and recreated glamorous sites from cities around the world. Many of the hotels are attractions in and of themselves and feature free street-side shows, from dancing fountains to erupting volcanoes. You’ll also find unique museums, an always impressive list of shows, and countless other things to do.
The 2.5-mile-long central section of Las Vegas Boulevard, which runs through the city from northeast to southwest, known as the Strip, is lined with huge entertainment palaces, many built with a defining theme and home to performance venues, luxury hotel rooms, and fine dining. The Strip is particularly impressive at night, when the city is illuminated by an endless succession of glittering neon signs.
Most visitors enjoy walking along the Strip and taking in the sights. Generally speaking, the Las Vegas Strip runs from the Mandalay Bay Hotel to Treasure Island Hotel. To truly experience Las Vegas, stay on the Strip, preferably at one of the major resorts, Bellagio Resort and Fountain Show, Paris Hotel and the Eiffel Tower, Venetian Hotel and Gondola Rides, MGM Grand Hotel and CSI: The Experience and many more.
