How Vegas areas work
The Las Vegas Strip runs about 4.2 miles along Las Vegas Boulevard, and locals mentally divide it into three stretches. The South Strip anchors the Mandalay Bay–MGM Grand end, the Center Strip holds the most walkable, iconic core around Bellagio and Caesars Palace, and the North Strip covers the newest mega-resorts up to the STRAT.
Downtown Las Vegas — the Fremont Street Experience — sits roughly 4 miles north of the Strip and is a completely separate, very compact casino cluster. Its Fremont East and Fremont West ends are walkable end to end and known for lower minimums and classic-Vegas character.
Beyond the tourist corridors, off-Strip locals casinos spread across the valley. Our Off-Strip West (Summerlin and Chinatown side) and Off-Strip East (Henderson and Boulder Highway) clusters cover the resorts locals actually use — typically with free parking, no resort fees, and better gaming value.

The Las Vegas Strip is about 4.2 miles (6.8 km) long, running along Las Vegas Boulevard from Mandalay Bay in the south to the STRAT in the north. Locals split it into three sections — South Strip, Center Strip, and North Strip.
How far is Downtown Vegas from the Strip?
Downtown Las Vegas (Fremont Street) sits about 4 miles north of the Strip, roughly a 10–15 minute drive or rideshare. It's a separate, compact, and very walkable casino cluster.
Which Vegas area is best for first-time visitors?
The Center Strip is the best base for first-timers — it's the most walkable stretch of the Strip, packed with iconic resorts like Bellagio and Caesars Palace and connected by pedestrian bridges.
Are off-Strip casinos worth visiting?
