The Strip is famous for casinos/hotels, entertainment,
restaurants,
and fantasy. How
did The Strip get its
name? How have casino-hotels changed over the last twenty years?
The Strip consists of three parts:
northern: from north of Sahara Ave.
to Desert Inn Rd.
middle: south of Desert Inn Rd to Flamingo Rd.
southern: from about Flamingo Rd to south of Tropicana
Ave. Find and then click on each of these areas* and tour
the casinos and sights.
