Hotels near The Las Vegas Strip

The Las Vegas Strip is the 4-mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard where the city's mega-resorts pile up one after another, each a themed world of its own - a Roman palace, a Venetian canal, an Egyptian pyramid, a half-size Eiffel Tower. Simply walking it after dark, amid the neon, the crowds and the free spectacles, is the defining Las Vegas experience.

Most of the Strip's best sights cost nothing to see: the resorts compete with free attractions designed to pull you inside, from erupting volcanoes to fountain ballets and elaborate themed lobbies. The distances are deceptive, though - what looks like a short hop between two casinos can be a sweaty 20-minute walk.

Pro Tip: Walk the Strip at night when the heat drops and the neon is at full blast, and use the air-conditioned skybridges and resort interiors to cut between casinos. Wear comfortable shoes - you will cover far more ground on foot than you expect.
