--- Quote ---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.

I enjoyed walkng the strip. (Although, the heat can get to you). Walking the strip you'll get to see a few interesting stores, and of course the men trying to hand you a flyer or business cards advertising some alternative entertainment available in Las Vegas. My wife who is a wonderful sport collected all the cards in a bag and I walllpapered on wall of my workshop with them. ;) ;D

My favorite day in Vegas is to lay by the pool in a private cabana all day. Nap in the afternoon then go to a great dinner, see a show and gamble a little.

We had a blast walking too. Those card filppers people must make some serious money off the activity.
Annoying at first, but it does add a bit of character to the experience.
My wife and I walked from our hotel (Mirage) to the Stratosphere- that was one long walk! And once we got past Circus Circus, the last mile or so was pretty scary.
We didn't mind the heat too much- we're used to the humidity here in summer, so the dry air was rather nice for walking, even when it was in the 90's.

Anyone have the number for the Montecido?

Um...sorry but http://ruk.ca/article/3351 says....
....Most of the show is shot in and around the Montecito Resort and Casino. I’d simply assumed that this was a real Las Vegas hotel; this assumption was bolstered by the fly-over shots of the city in the opening credits clearly showing the Montecito on the Las Vegas strip.
Turns out that I was wrong: it’s all a fiction: the Montecito doesn’t actually exist. Here’s what Wikipedia says:
Many of Mandalay Bay’s interiors and exteriors (including its wave pool) have been used as Montecito exteriors, although (according to the Internet Movie Database) interiors are now filmed in a California set that is a replica of the Mandalay Bay. In several episodes, the fly-through video clips inaccurately depict the movement of the camera into a casino which is clearly the Mandalay Bay - not the Montecito. Many of the interiors and exterior shots of the casino can be shown depicting Mandalay signage and names.
I've stayed at manadaly and can say it's very nice. :)
