I'm one of the very few local people who actually loves coming to the Las Vegas Strip. My daughter used to tell me that "Mom, you're the only one I know who loves the Strip" and I thought well, if I don't like it, why would I be living in Las Vegas? I'm not a tree, I can move!
But, yes, I love the Strip!
I search for actual activities, free or paid ones, restaurants, concerts, shows, shops, and anything else that interests me.
Even if I don't have too much time or money to spend, I still enjoy going out for people watching.
Love walking around the Strip, not summertime, of course, but every other month of the year. I bring my friends with me very often.
It amazes me how many people talk negatively about the Strip.
I'm sure they don't know much about it!
My favorite thing about the Strip is that it is visually stunning with all the hotels and casinos, the beautiful landscaping, and all the restaurants!
Parking on the Strip is no longer free, but with a local ID, most casinos are still giving 3 hours of free parking. And with different Rewards cards, like MGM reward card (Perl status), parking is free in almost half of the city casinos, since many of them are owned by MGM.
The parking at the Fashion Show Mall is still free! Also, TI Hotel & Casino parking garage is free too!
Walking on Las Vegas Blvd, crossing the street is limited, unless you use the skywalk bridges. It's for everyone's safety and benefit.
A lot of times, you can see blocked lanes, due to construction, or special events. Plan accordingly! Don't get stuck in traffic!
There are more than one road in Las Vegas, so get around it!
