The name Las Vegas is often applied to unincorporated areas that surround the city, especially the resort areas on and near the Las Vegas Strip. The 4.2 mi (6.8 km) stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard known as the Strip is mainly in the unincorporated communities of Paradise, Winchester, and Enterprise.
This is the view from the Eiffel Tower Exhibit in the Paris Hotel and Casino looking South. You can see the Planet Hollywood, Cosmopolitan, MGM, Luxor, Mandalay Bay, New York New York, Imperial Palace and Excalibur just to name a few. 19 of the 25 largest hotels in the world can be found on the Las Vegas Strip.
If you visit Las Vegas, be sure to spend the $15.50 and visit the top of the 1/2 scale Eiffel Tower in the Paris Casino/Hotel. It’s got a great view day or night of the strip and the water show across the street near the Bellagio.
