  Las Vegas Strip is the main street of Las Vegas with most of the hotels and casinos located along its 4 mi stretch. Like the best nights out, the Strip is the perfect mix of luxury and opulence, fun and debauchery—a blend of the very best that Vegas has to offer in high-end, low-brow, and laugh-out-loud diversion. Wynn, Encore, Palazzo, and Venetian are posh celebrity favorites.
