Tourists cross Las Vegas Boulevard at Bellagio Drive. The intersection between the Bellagio and Paris Las Vegas and Planet Hollywood properties is one of the last remaining major street level walkways across the Las Vegas Strip. Most intersections feature pedestrian overpass structures to safely move tourists around the Strip.

Tourists descend on an escalator to Las Vegas Boulevard after using the pedestrian overpass connecting the Treasure Island and the Venetian Hotel and Casinos. Overpasses like this 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.
