About
Stretching for over 4.2 miles, the most famous entertainment destination in the U.S. showcases an eclectic collection of mega hotels and resorts, glitzy casinos, lavish shopping malls, and Michelin-starred restaurants. The best way to enjoy the Strip is to stroll down the avenue and marvel at free spectacles like the dancing fountains of Bellagio and the erupting volcanoes of The Mirage. Or rest your legs by joining an open-top bus tour that cruises down the boulevard. For a more adventurous experience, splurge on a luxurious helicopter tour for a bird’s eye view of Las Vegas’ iconic landmarks. – Tripadvisor

- Alice SmithNew Zealand87 contributionsSensationalAbsolutely wonderful, so many sights, sounds and spectacles. Despite being busy and a tourist hotspot I felt remarkably safe while here. Even when bucketing it down with rain it's a great place to be.Visited July 2023Traveled with friendsWritten October 4, 2023
- David MAthens, Greece4 contributionsViva Las VegasViva Las Vegas! The people were really friendly and the strip has so much to offer, as does vegas. You may need a map to get out of hotels. Make sure you have enough time as we were so busy. Helicopter ride down the strip, Grand Canyon, zip line in Fremont street. Mj show was incredible. Please go to vegas.Visited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 7, 2023
- Sheera85Toronto, Canada48 contributionsLOVED ITThis was our first time to Vegas and we loved it. All the glitz and glamour was well worth the cost. We loved all the bright lights and stunning views at night. We found the strip very clean and any restrooms we used along the way were spotless as well. We were never annoyed by the entertainment along the strip, although some of it could be very loud which really wasn't necessary. No one bothered us. If asked "would you like a picture with me" a no thank you was enough for them to continue on their way. All stores and restaurants along the strip we visited were great. All attractions we did on the strip were well worth the money. All the freebies we saw were perfection. All the employees we encountered on the strip in different establishments were all very kind and very nice to us. They were always helpful. Hotels are definitely far apart and lots and lots of walking is necessary to get from point A to B. They really spared no expense when building all the hotels along the strip. Each one impressed us in many different ways. The Grand Bazaar in front of the Horseshoe Hotel is very seedy and really does not fit on the Vegas strip. We found the alley ways dirty and lots of unsavory people walking in there. This is the only place we as a couple felt uncomfortable along the strip. We noticed a fair amount of restaurant and bar construction going on along the strip as well. Shows that Vegas is thriving as a world class tourist destination. We never encountered any broken escalators inside or outside. Everything was in good working order and as I mentioned before clean. We did use taxis a few times during our stay and we found the cab drivers very unfriendly. They were very cold and sometimes even rude. All taxis were clean and air conditioned. The drivers just need a lesson in how to interact with tourists since they work in such a world class tourist spot. We always wanted to see Vegas and we can now tick it off our bucket list. We loved our trip and we made lots of great memories. Would we go back? We would in a heartbeat. We highly recommend seeing Vegas at least once in a lifetime.Visited September 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 10, 2023

- LaurenWest Yorkshire, United Kingdom729 contributionsStripComing from England and never having been to the states before, it’s overwhelming and unreal how huge everything is. It’s busy 24/7 and the best for people watching. Every single walk of life gets here from the richest to the local character. You’d never be able to walk the full length of it though - taxis are a must!Visited June 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 24, 2023
- veronak516 contributionsWorth the StrollThe Strip is just that a strip full of restaurants, casinos and stores. We enjoyed the people watching and casino hoping. Once you’ve been here, there’s really not much else to do unless you gamble and want to catch a show. This was our second visit, we simply hit a few places we missed the last time.Visited November 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten November 23, 2023
- Tanya BTulsa, Oklahoma75 contributionsHustle Bustle, love it or hate it!Busy, bustling, noise and lights, pretty much sums up the strip. I don’t mean these things all negatively or positively it’s just the atmosphere of the strip. It had been nearly 24 years since I had visited so things had changed. The hotels are magnificent, great options for food and entertainment. The negative side was the obnoxious traffic, rudeness of people ( I am well traveled and this was the rudest environment I have been yet), pot smell galore ( eat gummies until your hearts content people!). It is worth the visit, just know it’s pricey to eat, drink water or soda. Plan a Walgreens trip to get water & soda for your room, $5-11 for bottles of water and soda when dining… food was a bit pricier than I expected. Over all the positives outweighed the negatives of the experience, thus the 4/5 rating. It is a unique city with lots to do!Visited November 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten November 26, 2023
- Mike from Rival TownNiagara Falls, Canada1,039 contributionsI love The Vegas!!!I was so blown away with my first visit to Vegas! There’s just countless options of things to do. Even if you’re not a gambler (which I definitely am not) there’s still so much to do. I think Vegas has realized that the newer generations don’t care as much about gambling as the previous generations so they’ve been trying to shift into more shows and entertainment. I don’t even know where to start (check out my other reviews). The Big Apple Coaster was a blast, Stranger Things Store is a must-do if you’re a fan of the show, The Linq Promenade was a cool spot, and it’s just mind blowing walking through all of the hotels and casinos. Another great thing I didn’t realize is there’s amazing resorts for all kinds of budgets! If you wanna really treat yourself to a luxurious/expensive stay, then choose Belaggio, Mirage, Resort World, Wynn, The Venetian, Caesars Palace. If you don’t plan on staying in the room much and don’t wanna spend as much on your stay but still wanna enjoy a cool spot, then go Flamingo, Luxor, Excalibur, New York New York, Mandalay Bay. Every single hotel has something really cool and special to offer!Visited November 2023Traveled with friendsWritten December 12, 2023

- MNRLVEUColumbus, Ohio413 contributionsGreat placeIt is really hard to describe the strip, it is a great place with about anything you could want. The casinos/ hotels are all over the top and offer a different vibe. There is a lot to see and don’t be fooled by the actual distance between places, it might look close but it can be quite a walk just from one to the next. It is a sight to see and really comes alive at night.Visited February 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten February 15, 2024

Just got back and it was horrible. I’ve been to Las Vegas 15 times and this trip was aweful. I get the masks and everybody followed it but the people were always yelling at you about pulling the mask up. Your trying to drink and have fun on your time off from work....beware it’s bad. Restaurants all close early and if you don’t book on open table with parties less than 6 but usually 4 you won’t be eating in a nice restaurant. The few workers they have are overwhelmed and almost rude to you all the time. Get a drink in Las Vegas haha! Bring your own because you will
Pay $15-$20 for a drink on the strip if you can get the one bartender to serve you. Downtown had better prices and is very busy. Don’t bother trying to watch and learn a game- no spectators. Finding a black jack table is a chore as well. Most table were full of the scam games like 3 card poker, Texas hold-em poker and all very low odd games. Checking into a hotel...what a joke. All kiosk and most don’t work properly. If they have changed to try to “protect” people they will be doing good because I for one won’t be back so thanks for changing everything. Go back to normal, people will honor the masks but get your employees
Back to work to give the proper service to the people who come to support. Horrible job Vegas! Very disappointed!

This area is NOT the same STRIP as before Covid hit. Nothing much stays open after 7pm. Doors are locked and people start going back to their rooms. It is filthy because they are hurting for workers, no one that is working has time to help you or give directions. The huge casinos are at least a mile long, and if you have trouble walking, don't go to this city. My husband almost collapsed. No place to sit down, extremely high prices for food. Fast foods will cost you around $23 each! And it is greasy and bad food. So crowded on the sidewalks people will knock you down if you don't walk as fast as they do. Banisters are dirty, sidewalks are dirty, doors are filthy, just to buy a t shirt costs at least $15. If you can go anyplace else for vacation, do so. Our room 4 miles off the strip cost us $1600 and and we bought a Go Vegas pass for $1295 and got scammed and was not able to use any of it. They claimed we used it to go to many places when we did not use it at all ! Don't go to this city unless you want to get scammed and cheated.. They want to make their money back that they lost in Covid,, well they are doing it very well.

They charge for everything. We were even told how much we had to bet per hand to get a free drink, and the bartender checked up on us. We were told we had to bet $1.00 per hand on poker machines to get a free drink and then it upped to $1.25 per machine on poker to get a drink. That is the first time that has ever happened to us and we have stayed there a dozen times over the last 15 years. This has never happened before. We ate at Gordan Ramsey's restaurant, an it was at least 4 stars for a $400 meal. But my husband was drinking high end scotch and those were $40 each. We had the Beef Wellington which was so good and mac and cheese with lobster. I thought I hated MAC and cheese as i had only had the box mix but his I loved. I recommend his restaurant but not Caesars palace. I am handicapped and charged $30 a day for valet parking and for internet each day. never stay there again.

There is nothing like it anywhere in the world. At night, bright lights, nightclubs, gambling, great food and drink, shows that dazzle and entertain! During the day I walked 6 miles to take photographs and explore. Being alone and taking photos I was wondering how safe I was. I would have been easy prey by not paying attention to what was going on around me. All was good! There was enough foot traffic around me, that no one bothered me.
I love going into the Hershey store for kisses, gotta have chocolate! I had no idea that Prada and Tiffany, each had store on the strip. Their stores had a cool vibe, modern architecture which I loved to photograph.
At night, I took a chance again alone to take photos on the strip. This time I didn't venture far from my hotel mostly because it was cold. I got some great shots and for the most part I was left alone. Loads of people walking around, some had started the party early. I never felt at risk but I also never put myself into harms way either.
Fun to walk the strip day or night, you never know what you'll see! What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas! a 5 star review from me.

Family vacation with teens - went in Sept. 2020 when Covid was still limiting entertainment so we weren't able to do many of the things we wanted to. The things that were working had long lines and were booked at least a day or two in advance, so if you want to experience anything that requires a ticket - plan ahead and get your tickets in advance. Even the pools had limits and you had to be on a list to get in because of the number of people wanting to lounge at the pool. The stores had waiting lines too in order to get in because of capacity limits. In spite of that, we still had fun exploring. Didn't go for the nightclubs or the nightlife, but liked exploring both day and night.

I've been to Las Vegas many times for conferences and as I'm driving through the state from California to Colorado. I need to preface this by saying I don't gamble and I am a very LIGHT drinker. The lights, the fountain at the Bellagio Hotel, and the "people watching" are great, but if you don't like smokey casinos (which you have to walk through to get to your room or restaurant or front door or lobby or the hotel)... well, you are out of lucky. I must say that they have improved the air circulation systems in the past decade. It was really bad when I was growing up. The shows are great, fun, and expensive, but if you buy them last minute you do get a discount. There are several discount ticket places along the strip. So... would I go out of my way to go there? No. It's not my thing. But will I go back? Seeing as I have a conference that I want to attend next year... probably.

Loads of casinos, shops, restaurants, etc. there are some pedestrian bridges to cross the strip when you can get some great photos. Beware of the “show girls” that offer to take photo with you.lol they expect an exorbitant amount to do so, but only after the photo is taken. Fountains at the bellagio are pretty cool, so stop for a few minutes to see a show.

Any visitor to Las Vegas should walk along The Strip after sun-set to enjoy the magnifiicent view of the City. You get a sight of the grand Hotels and Casinos, Restaurants, Food Court, Shopping Centers lined up on both sides. You get to see performance venues for music, comedy and other acts. As you walk along the great attractions such as Music Fountains opposite Hotel Bellagio, the Volcano Show close to Hotel Mirage, Gondola boat ride at Venetia, the Greek sculptures near Ceasar's Palace, Statue of Liberty and Eiffel Tower are just a few which occur. A must visit.

We were on a short stay in Las Vegas in the month of July. As much as The Strip has to offer, the heat and crowds can get unbearable by 1pm. We started around 10am and noticed a distinct difference by 1pm for the size of the crowds and the heat index, although with the current situation, the crowds may not be as much of a problem as the temperature.
By 1pm, we were done with the 106 degree heat,and it was time to retreat indoors until evening.

My husband and I went to Vegas on a honeymoon redo. The strip was fun. But a little overwhelming with all the people that were trying to get you to sign up for stuff and give you stuff. It definitely was great for people watching if that is what you like to do. Another downside is there are not a lot of places to sit and rest that are not restaurants or bars. Highly recommend bringing a water bottle that you can refill because a bottle of water on the strip range from $3-6. It was also the same for a 20 oz bottle of soda.

Hello. We have our first vacation to the Vegas Strip booked at the Venetian in late May. Reviews are making us rethink our plans. We will have our two teenage daughters with us. Is it safe for our family to be on the strip? How concerned should we be with the drug use, crime, and overall sketchiness of those other than tourists like us?
Written February 23, 2022
Not at all. Vegas has become a more family friendly. The weekends can invite more rowdiness, but it's Vegas baby. Be smart with your personal belongings to stave off pick pockets. Like, no wallets in pockets & fanny packs & backpacks to the front. But overall it's cool. Certain times of the year and certain sporting events may bring in more people, so check for that and enjoy yourselves otherwise!! Have a safe trip.

Really want to take my husband back to Las Vegas for our 5th wedding Anniversary, but not if there isn’t anything open to do. Is there anything you can actually do during this pandemic right now?
Written March 18, 2021
Right now yes! Mostly everything is open. Some places have a max. But make sure to just set reservations before you go anywhere and you should be fine.

Some are open, but some not, and with a spike in Clark County cases, there is talk of closing again.
There are a dozen active threads on the Las Vegas Destination Forum, which get updates daily, if not hourly.
I would head to that Forum, and bookmark a few of those update threads.
Best of luck, and happy anniversary,

Written March 5, 2020
Certi hotel sono enormi e a volte è difficile uscire da dove si è entrati perché ci sono tante sale da gioco che alla fine si assomigliano tutte. Però sei obbligato a transitarci per visitare le parti più interessanti. Il tempo è variabile …. anche un' ora.

Depends on where you are going. If just around town, Uber or the bus are best. If wanting to go to Hoover Dam or hiking out of town, you can use Hotwire to get a really cheap car. Pick up at the airport

Planning my first trip to Vegas in early April - any safety concerns for a solo traveler?
I know I want to see the canals at the Venetian, possibly ride the High Roller (even though it scares me lol), see the Flamingos, check out Minus 5 Ice Bar and ride the Monorail... and play poker and roulette of course!
What else should I see / do that is reasonably priced? Any tips for a solo traveler?
Thanks! =)

Helicopter trip over the Grand Canyon with Papillon Tours was superb although a bit on the pricey side.
Slotzilla zipline on Freemont St is awesome fun.
Venetian Casino canals, shops and food court are great as are the Forum shops at Caesars Palace. Avoid shops at the Cosmopolitain as they are all high end.
High Roller Wheel is a must. Take the Happy Hour rotation if you like a drink. Bar service is fast and you can make it pay for itself if you knock a few back :)
Don't miss the Bellagio Fountains, they're amazing and free.
Freemont Street at night is brilliant fun and if you go there, take a slice of pizza at Pizza Rock-it's out of this world.
Other cheap eats: Shake Shack, The Donut Store near Freemont St, Grimaldi's Pizza (various locations) and snacks in Eataly are all reasonably priced as is In n Out Burger on the Linq promenade. On the pricier side, Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace is superb and if you really want to splash out on a meal, The Eiffel Tower restaurant is just the best. Work some overtime, get saving and treat yourself. Have an amazing break, as we did 👍
As for the down and outs, girls dressed as showgirls asking for pictures, then trying to charge you, also people dressed as super heroes and Disney characters, little Asian women trying to sell you bracelets and men who will give you cards for prostitutes. Either look away or politely say "no thanks" and they will leave you alone. We thought it was very safe as long as you do expect to witness some or other erratic behaviour on the strip around once every ten minutes.
