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. Getting people to use the overpasses has required installation of fencing in some areas, like this one outside of the Cromwell Las Vegas hotel and casino at Flamingo Raod.

A black and white image of Las Vegas, Nevada. The then young town can be seen expanding its boundaries, as demonstrated by the shop being built on the right side of the street. Other stores, including a tailor shop and the Las Vegas Coffee House, are also visible from this angle, along with barren desert in the background. This photo was taken from a time capsule in the cornerstone of the Union Pacific Railroad station located in Las Vegas. The time capsule was placed there in 1940 and was later retrieved when the building was demolished around 1970.
