The Las Vegas Strip stretches 4.2 miles.
That’s the equivalent of 70 football fields lined up in a row, 20 Eiffel Towers on their side (the Paris one, not the Vegas one) and almost 3,000 feet longer than the length of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
How long does it take to walk the Las Vegas Strip?
At an average walking speed of 3 mph, it would take a traveler nearly an hour and a half to walk the full Strip – and that’s without stopping at any of the attractions along the way.
How warm is it in Las Vegas?
Travelers will also need to take weather into account when planning their walks on the Strip.
