Pedestrian traffic on Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, Nevada: digital photograph

Date

2017-04-12

Description

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.
