Welcome to our forum.
If you like walking, then you'll love the strip. It's a deceptively long walk from one end to the other. The hotels are so huge they look close but it's a couple miles from one end to the other. A hotel in the middle of the strip might be a good idea- that way you can be relatively close whichever way you want to go.
Anyone have the number for the Montecido?
Thanks for all the tips and insights. Will take all into consideration. I am so looking forward to the trip. I was told not to miss Freemont street. How far is it from the strip, anyone know? Thanks again.
