The Window Trick of Las Vegas Hotels

I'm calling it unfriendly because it's a highway cutting through an area fully suited to being entirely pedestrianised. You can't even drive to the front of casinos (they have car park entrances at the back), yet the vast majority of real estate outside them is given up to traffic lanes, with precious little left to the people wandering around them spending.

There isn't even that much traffic on the strip, the road-to-footpath ratio of land allpocation is absurd.

It's unfriendly because you have to walk so damn far to get around lanes that have little business existing in the first place.

I have walked between various casinos at times--and never have I felt I was being made to walk unduly out of my way to do so. The games they play with scale make you think things are closer than they are.

And, yes, parking is generally in back--that's actually being pedestrian friendly! If parking was in front a pedestrian would have to cross a lot more parking lot to reach the casino.

And if you think there isn't much traffic on the strip you've just been there at the wrong time.
