| - The strip is a party zone chock full of street performers, con artists, pan handlers and prostitute hawkers. If you go to Vegas for the "strip" you might love it if you have these expectations. However, if you come to vegas for specific entertainment (shows) and features, the strip might be more of a nuisance, and that's where my visit falls.
I couldn't walk a half block without being accosted (for lack of a better word) by any of the above people looking for a way to part a me from my money, using claims of "Free" or "I do this for tips" and so on. When I walked away from some of these folks I started getting attitude. That's not to say there aren't some legitimate people trying to make a legitimate living on the strip, I've just met enough people in various places that have quelled my level of trust when meeting strangers, especially those who claim to want to sell me something for "Free" on the street.
There is a good deal of sightseeing on the strip if one can get past the strangers who want your cash, each hotel and casino is unique in its own way. Each public show on the street is unique as are many of the small shops and stores. When walking the strip, one needs to keep in mind, they don't call it "Sin City" for nothing.
