Things To Do
Las Vegas Strip
We know it's cliché, but it's a must see. The Las Vegas Strip is a 4.2 mile neon-soaked stretch of South Las Vegas Boulevard in Clark County, Nevada where many of the largest and upscale hotel, casino, and resort properties in the world are located. As well as gambling floors, the vast hotel complexes house a variety of shops, restaurants (ranging from mainstream to high-end), and performance venues for music, comedy and circus-style acts. Attractions like the soaring, choreographed Fountains of Bellagio and the High Roller observation wheel draw crowds and have established the Las Vegas Strip as one of the most popular and iconic tourist destinations in the United States, and the world. Most of the Strip has also been designated an All-American Road, and is considered a scenic route at night.
