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.

The Sands Hotel and Casino was a historic hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada, United States, that operated from 1952 to 1996. Designed by the architect Wayne McAllister, with a prominent 56-foot (17 m) high sign, the Sands was the seventh resort to open on the Strip. The hotel was opened on December 15, 1952 as a casino with 200 rooms, and was established less than three months after the opening of another notable landmark, Sahara Hotel and Casino. The hotel rooms were divided into four two-story motel wings, each with fifty rooms, and named after famous race tracks. The last dice in the casino was rolled by Bob Stupak just after 6pm on June 30, 1996. On November 26 of that year, it was finally imploded and demolished. Today, The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino stands where the Sands once stood. The property is located at 3355 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109.

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.
