The famous Las Vegas Strip
Where to Stay on the Las Vegas Strip
The Strip stretches roughly four miles, and each section has a different feel — from family fun to nightlife and luxury escapes.
- South Strip (Mandalay Bay area) – Large resorts like Mandalay Bay, Luxor and Excalibur create a lively, family friendly scene with easy convention access. Mandalay Bay’s eleven-acre “beach” pool and lazy river make this end ideal for families and groups.
- Central Strip (MGM Grand to Bellagio) – The heart of the action, with iconic landmarks like the Bellagio fountains and the Paris Eiffel Tower. Hotels such as the Bellagio, Aria and Cosmopolitan shine with nightlife, rooftop pools and fine dining — perfect for couples and first-timers.
- North Strip (Encore to Circus Circus) – A mix of luxury and value, from sleek Wynn and Encore to retro casinos and family spots like Circus Circus with its Adventuredome theme park. This stretch feels more relaxed and often better value than mid-Strip.
- Far North Strip (beyond Sahara Avenue) – Quieter, with older casinos and motels near the Stratosphere tower. It suits budget travellers and visitors looking for a calmer stay still close to the Strip lights.
