Las Vegas Boulevard

Nevada's neon artery

Las Vegas Boulevard is the main north-south thoroughfare through Las Vegas, Nevada, best known for the stretch called the Strip—a four-mile concentration of casinos, hotels, and entertainment venues that defines the city's identity.

The full boulevard extends well beyond the Strip, running through downtown and into surrounding areas, but when someone mentions Las Vegas Boulevard, they usually mean the neon-lit corridor of resorts: We walked Las Vegas Boulevard from the Bellagio to the Venetian.
