Las Vegas Strip

Las Vegas Blvd S, from Sahara Ave to Russell Rd · Las Vegas, NV

Why you should go…

The Strip is a 4.2-mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard South, running from Sahara Avenue down to the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign near Russell Road. It is lined with resort hotels and casinos, and a lot of what you see costs nothing. The Fountains of Bellagio send water up to 460 feet in the air in time to music, the Bellagio Conservatory changes its floral displays through the year, and the Wynn runs its Lake of Dreams light show at night.

Good to know

General sightseeing guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • The forecast is part of the ticket

    Haze, low cloud, and rain flatten a view. Clear-day visits are worth rearranging your plans for.

  • Golden hour sells out first

    Sunset slots at observation decks and cruises are the first to go, so book those further ahead.

  • Dress a layer warmer

    It is always breezier up high and out on the water than it feels at street level.

  • Timed entry is common

    Plenty of landmarks release tickets in windows rather than at the door, so check before you walk over.
