I Walked the Las Vegas Strip — Here’s What It’s Really Like

“I walked the Las Vegas Strip to find out what Vegas is really like at street level. From the Bellagio and Caesars Palace to Paris, Venice, Treasure Island and beyond, the Las Vegas Strip is one of the strangest places in America — a few miles of casinos, artificial landmarks, faded attractions, luxury hotels, street performers, nightlife and almost unimaginable excess. But Vegas looks very different when you explore it on foot. In this video, I walk the Strip with a camera and let the city provide the story. Along the way we explore some of the most famous Las Vegas hotels and casinos, discover remnants of old Vegas, encounter some truly bizarre characters, and see what exists between the polished resorts that most visitors never notice. Las Vegas can be beautiful, tacky, luxurious, run-down, hilarious and deeply strange — sometimes all within the same city block. This is Vegas at street level. 📍 LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, USA If you enjoy travel films that go beyond the tourist attractions and explore what places are actually like, subscribe for more.
