Las Vegas Strip Drive 23 stops by car, from the Welcome sign to the Historic Westside
Map is offline right now — the tour below still works. Narration plays itself as you reach each stop.

A self-guided drive up Las Vegas Boulevard, from the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign to the Historic Westside, telling the story of a street that has imploded and rebuilt itself every twenty years — pyramid, castle, Eiffel Tower and volcano, and the Dunes, the Sands, the Desert Inn, the Stardust, the Frontier and the Tropicana that all stood here and are gone. Narration plays on its own as you reach each stop — the screen is for your passenger, never the driver. Most stops are narrated as you drive past, marked “drive-by”; two near the end are optional stops where you can park and get out.

The route, in order

  1. Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign The sign says Las Vegas — but you're standing in Paradise, and the only thing this town never changes is its habit of changing.
  2. Mandalay Bay + Allegiant Stadium Gold-leaf towers, a shark reef in the desert, and a stadium the locals call the Death Star.
  3. Luxor A 30-storey pyramid, elevators that climb at an angle, and the brightest light on Earth.
  4. Excalibur / New York-New York A castle that was once the world's biggest hotel, and a half-scale Manhattan with a roller coaster on the roof.
  5. Tropicana site + MGM Grand The “Tiffany of the Strip,” imploded for a ballpark — and the emerald hotel with a lion's-mouth door nobody would walk through.
  6. Planet Hollywood (Aladdin site) Where Elvis married Priscilla in eight minutes — on the site of an Aladdin that got imploded and reincarnated.
  7. Bellagio (Dunes site) + Paris A lake fed by a dead golf course, and a half-scale Eiffel Tower that lost the argument with the airport.
  8. Horseshoe (ex-Bally's / first MGM Grand) The site of the first MGM Grand — a name that changed after one of the worst days in the city's history.
  9. Caesars Palace No apostrophe on purpose — because everyone's a Caesar. (Also: Evel Knievel's worst landing.)
  10. Flamingo + The Linq / High Roller Not actually Bugsy's idea — but the oldest resort still standing on the Strip, with a 550-foot wheel next door.
  11. Mirage (closed 2024) The volcano resort that started the megaresort era — now closing to be reborn with a guitar-shaped tower.
  12. Venetian / Sphere (Sands site) The site of the Sands, where the Rat Pack held their Summit — now canals, gondolas and a giant glowing ball.
  13. Treasure Island + Wynn (Desert Inn site) Where Howard Hughes bought the hotel rather than check out — and where Vegas once sold tickets to watch the bomb.
  14. Frontier site (empty lot) + Fashion Show The empty lot where Elvis bombed, Siegfried & Roy debuted, and America's longest strike finally ended.
  15. Resorts World (Stardust site) + Circus Circus The site of the Stardust — the skim that became Casino — now the first new Strip resort in a decade.
  16. Riviera site + Sahara + El Rancho site Liberace's first high-rise, the Beatles' hotel, the Strip's very first resort — and the line where the city actually starts.
  17. STRAT The tallest observation tower in the U.S. — and the gateway to the story of why Las Vegas exists at all.
  18. Little White Wedding Chapel The drive-through Tunnel of Vows — and the 55-hour marriage that made global headlines.
  19. Fremont Street crossing (Glitter Gulch) Glitter Gulch — where the city was auctioned into being in 1905, and where Vegas Vic still waves.
  20. Mob Museum A 1933 courthouse that hosted the mob hearings — and holds the actual wall from Chicago's St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
  21. Neon Museum The boneyard where every dead sign on this tour ended up — Stardust, Moulin Rouge, and hundreds more.
  22. Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort The 1855 adobe fort at the springs — “the meadows” that a whole neon city grew out of.
  23. Moulin Rouge site (Historic Westside) The first integrated casino, designed by the same hand as the sign you started at — where the circle closes.
