Tourists walk in the area near the Mirage Hotel and Casino as others cross Las Vegas Boulevard above traffic. Pedestrian overpasses have become a popular way of keeping tourists safe and traffic flowing on the Strip, but their expense and footprint make them difficult for all locations. Moving pedestrians along the Strip safely has become a major effort over the years.

Providing security and access to both automobile and pedestrian traffic is handled differently along Las Vegas Boulevard and has changed over the years on the Strip. Here tourist utilize a spacious sidewalk in front of the Paris Las Vegas hotel and casino as the Bellagio is seen in the background.
