Maps
Use the Maps tab to choose between two different main maps:

- The Las Vegas Strip Map covers the most-visited 4-mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard (‘The Strip’), from the Stratosphere in the north to McCarran Airport in the south.
- The Las Vegas Downtown Map centers on Fremont Street and access from there to I-15 and I-615.
These maps are hot-linked to Las Vegas's major attractions, such as casinos, museums, theatres, hospitals, churches, hotels, and more. Tap any attraction icon on the maps for immediate access to more information.
