More Vegas Opulance

January 2017 - Las Vegas NV

We walked some of the Strip last week. This week we'll cover a few more casinos and sights.

This time we'll head south on the Strip.

We'll start at Harrah's and cross Las Vegas Blvd, where we stopped last week.

There are mobile billboards everywhere.

We take the pedestrian bridge from Treasure Island into Fashion Show. 

The mall spans 1,888,151 sq ft (175,415.0 m2) of space, with more than 250 stores and seven anchors, and hosts weekend fashion shows on a retractable runway with the mall's central atrium, hence the name.

We'll cross over to Wynn.

The US$2.7-billion resort is named after casino developer Steve Wynn and is the flagship property of Wynn Resorts Limited. The resort covers 215 acres (87 ha). It is located at the northeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sands Avenue, directly across The Strip from the Fashion Show Mall.








The 614-foot (187 m)-high hotel has 49 floors, with the 2,716 rooms ranging in size from 640 sq ft (59 m2) to villas at 7,000 sq ft (650 m2).
