I'm trying to find a map of where the strip lies in relation to the entire city of Las Vegas with no luck.|||The city of Las Vegas is north of the strip. The Strip is in the unincorporated town of paradise.
Sahara Avenue is the dividing line between the two.
For marketing purposes and not to confuse the tourists, many people consider the entire valley "Las Vegas" and the mail will be delivered if addressed Las Vegas, even if you live in Henderson.|||It's southern vegas, but just go to google maps and search for MGM, or New York New York which is on the strip|||neither. its basically smack dab in the middle|||South, by quite a bit. The Strip is on the very south part of the city; to the north is the so-called "downtown" or "Freemont Street" gambling area, and north of that is the real city (i.e., the place where locals actually live and shop and go to school, etc.).|||It's in the Southern part of Las Vegas.
The Northern part has more of a normal city look to it %26amp; lots of residential neighborhoods too.|||it is parallel to route 15 if you have the map
see where the air port is and you will see it is very close. that would be the southern end.|||In the strictest sense, "the Strip" refers only to Las Vegas Boulevard, roughly between Sahara Avenue and Russell Road, a distance of 4.1 miles (6.6 km). However, the term is often used to refer not only to the road but also to the various casinos and resorts that line the road, and even to properties which are not on the road but in proximity.
The Las Vegas Strip is an approximately 3.8 mi (6.1 km) stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard South in Clark County, Nevada. A small portion of the Strip lies in Las Vegas, but most of it is in the unincorporated areas of Paradise and Winchester. Most of "the Strip" has been designated an All-American Road
Several decades ago, Las Vegas Boulevard South was called Arrowhead Highway, or Los Angeles Highway. The Strip was reportedly named by Los Angeles police officer Guy McAfee, after his hometown's Sunset Strip|||South Las Vegas. The southern end of the Strip is just west of McCarran International Airport.|||The Strip is just the nickname of Las Vegas Blvd.|||The strip is in the center of town in the sense it is not north or south and it is not east or west. It use to be the south part of town but with the building of seven hills, southern highlands, the outlet mall, south point etc it is no longer the southern part of town|||Use Yahoo maps, put in Las Vegas, NV. Zoom in or out as required. The Strip is Las Vegas Blvd. It basically starts near McCarran Airport on the Southern part of your map. It is not called "the Strip" on the map.
