Pedestrian and automobile traffic on the Las Vegas Strip, Las Vegas, Nevada: digital photograph

Date

2017-02-28

Description

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. Although pedestrian overpasses provide a safe way to cross the Strip, the many entrances and exits from casinos have created the need for crosswalks that delay traffic along the tourist corridor. Here tourists and traffic use the same space between the entrances to the Linq project and the Caesars Palace property.

Description

Tourists overwhelmingly prefer to use the private property walkway built into the Treasure Island hotel and casino over the public sidewalk. The decision to include both a private and public sidewalk was in part related to the discussion of access that must be provided to the public if a property incorporates the public space into their designs. Then owner Steve Wynn chose to leave the traditional sidewalk rather than grant access to the private property for public protests or other public uses. Other casinos chose to differently.
