The Strip

The Strip is the easiest place in Las Vegas to be out alone at night, since it is crowded, patrolled and built for visitors. Expect drunk crowds, hustlers and high prices, and use rideshare for long distances.

The Strip is the stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard lined with the big resorts, and it is where most visitors stay. It is crowded and lit up around the clock, with security staff, cameras and police everywhere, so someone alone does not stand out at any hour. The resorts have dozens of restaurants, bars, shows and spas, and eating alone at a bar counter is normal. Most problems come from the crowds: drunk groups late at night, pickpockets on packed walkways, street hustlers and unattended drinks. Resorts are much farther apart than they look, and long walks in summer heat are tiring. Stick to the busy resort corridor, take a rideshare between distant stops, and stay off the quiet side streets and back roads behind the resorts.
