This new Las Vegas landmark is epic in every way—but leave the selfie sticks at home.

Whenever I’m in Las Vegas my absolute favorite pastime is walking the Strip at night. That’s when the city’s massive casino resorts are at their most mesmerizing, wowing even a repeat visitor like me with synchronized fountains and incredible replicas of world-famous landmarks made all the more dazzling by a gazillion neon and LED lights. While this could border on Disneyesque, the Strip’s edgy, anything-goes vibe makes it the ideal spot to get swept up in the city’s notorious sensory overload—which, as a New Yorker, I can relate to.
