It’s just four miles long and it’s really actually a section of the Las Vegas Boulevard South, an All-American Road, or at least, most of it is. And some of it isn’t even technically in Las Vegas! But still, it’s one of the best known pieces of road in all America. It’s the Las Vegas Strip.
The city of Las Vegas is well known for its casinos. America is not a land that allows a lot of gambling, but in Nevada, and a few other places, they do. Las Vegas is where most of Nevada’s gambling takes place, and the Strip is where most of the casinos and big hotels are located.
At the northern end of the Strip lies the Stratosphere Tower Hotel. Four miles south and you’ll find the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. But three and a half of those four miles are actually located in the town of Paradise in Clark County. In between the Stratosphere and the Mandalay bay you will find over forty casinos.
Many of the casinos and hotels are named after exotic places. For example, there’s the Greek Isles Hotel and Casino, the Monte Carlo Resort and Casino, New York, the New York Hotel and Casino, the Paris, the Sahara Hotel, the Tuscany Hotel and Casino, and more. Las Vegas Strip certainly believes in creating dreams.
