Las Vegas Strip Photos

In the 50s, gambling in Las Vegas centered around Freemont Street. Soon, after WW II however, some hotels started moving to Las Vegas Boulevard South, the then main road into Vegas from Los Angeles, which came to be known as the Strip. Today the Strip is a continuous row of giant theme resort hotels which now sell major productions shows & the luxury experience over gambling. The Strip is noted for the constant turnover of older hotels with ever bolder architecture & scale.
