The Strip

Neon-lit boulevard

The Strip refers to Las Vegas Boulevard South, the famous four-mile stretch of casino resorts, hotels, and entertainment venues in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The name evokes neon lights, gambling, shows, and excess: We walked the Strip until 3 a.m.

Other cities have their own strips—commercial roads lined with businesses—but capitalized, The Strip almost always means Vegas.
