WALKING IN VEGAS

Bring comfortable shoes.

The thing to try to understand is that while a casino may look like a 10 minute walk from where you are, it may be more like thirty minutes. In that clear air distances are deceiving.

If you have a good sense of how far a mile is, here are the figures for the strip casinos. However, remember that you would not walk by most of them. You would walk in to them and see something. That could easily double the distance.:

Calculating the distances between any two points on the list involves nothing more than basic math, going forward or backward.

0.0 Mandalay Bay
0.2 Luxor
0.4 Excalibur, Tropicana
0.6 New York-New York, MGM Grand
0.7 Showcase Mall
0.8 Monte Carlo
1.0 Boardwalk Holiday Inn
1.0 Harley Davidson Cafe
1.2 Aladdin
1.4 Bellagio, Paris
1.5 Bally's, Barbary Coast
1.7 Caesars Palace, Flamingo
1.8 Harrah's
1.9 Mirage, O'Shea's, Casino Royale
2.0 Venetian

2.8 Stardust
3.0 Westward Ho, Slots 'O Fun, Riviera
