Las Vegas Accommodation: Strip

Where to stay in Las Vegas

If you’re looking at staying along The Strip, the northern end is – generally speaking – more geared towards adults than the southern end, which has more shopping and non-casino attractions, making it great for families. The Downtown area of Las Vegas is located around Fremont Street, and has more of a local vibe. Here the casinos are closer together so you really can casino-hop if you want to, whereas on The Strip it’s sometimes quite a walk between each one. Prices are generally a little cheaper in the Downtown area than on the glitzier Strip.

Las Vegas is a party destination almost all year round, however some times are better to visit than others.

The Las Vegas Monorail links some Strip casino resorts, and while taxis and limousines are plentiful, it’s illegal to hail them on the street so wait at the taxi stand instead.
