Las Vegas Guidebook
Sightseeing
Most of what there is to see in Las Vegas is concentrated along «the Strip», a 6-kilometre stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard, roughly between the Stratosphere and the Mandalay Bay Hotel. The best way to explore it is on foot with a good pair of shoes, or by taking one of the city buses that run along the Strip between the different attractions.

Perpendicular to the Strip and just north of South Las Vegas Boulevard, Fremont Street is the heart of Old Downtown Vegas. Its pedestrian section, between Main Street and 4th, is lined with souvenirs shops and casino hotels, including the oldest casino in downtown Las Vegas, the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino (1906), and other iconic establishments including Binion’s Horseshoe (1931),
the Golden Nugget (1946)
and the Fitzgerald (1980). You need to go at night to live the Fremont Street Experience – Viva Vision, a sound and light show presented on an immense canopy screen measuring 457 m by 27 m, suspended at a height of 27 metres above the heads of the crowd. The show lasts about 6 minutes and is presented daily, every hour, starting between 6 p.m. and
8 p.m. and finishing around midnight. Special events and free concerts are also held there. WWW.VEGASEXPERIENCE.COM

What could be a more typical Vegas experience than to have your photo taken next to the famous «Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas» sign?
If this is something that interests you, you will find the sign on the Las Vegas Strip, near the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, at the south entrance of the city. You can get there by bus: take the Deuce Bus or the SDX (Strip & Downtown Express), get off at the Mandalay Bay and walk south for about 15 minutes.
If you prefer to drive, there is a small 12-space parking lot next to the iconic sign. Note that you can only enter the parking lot when heading south on Las Vegas Boulevard (not accessible when driving north). There are no spaces for RVs, but people still pull over and park at the side of the road when possible.
