Avoid the strip at all costs. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.
Every time I go there, I regret it.
And now that paid parking is approaching, it's even more unappealing.
The strip is absurdly expensive due to revenue-sharing between the businesses and the casinos (about 1/3 of what you pay goes to the casinos), and it's full of mostly trailer-trash in shorts and flip-flops, and overweight Taylor Swift wannabes awkwardly walking around with what seems like concrete blocks for shoes, all pretending to "live the dream".
For those who have a brain, that "dream" is nothing short of a nightmare.
There are so many wonderful restaurants, shops, and forms of entertainment off-the-strip that are more worthwhile....especially in Chinatown....just do a little research....starting here on Yelp.
