The real heart of
Las Vegas is the very
busy 8-mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard - or the
"Strip" - that runs from the airport to the original city center
(downtown and beyond). Along both sides of the Strip the vast
majority of accommodation and associated leisure pursuits are found
and the dazzling neon of the city that never sleeps is brightest.
The giant hotels are virtually self-contained resorts - designed to
attract free-spending couples and families who are not necessarily
interested in gambling. Themed properties, from King Arthur to Long
John Silver, are all the rage and construction of even more such
properties continues unabated.
