With the weather heating up to the triple digit (F) summer temperatures, I've been exploring some trails of a different type in recent weeks - those of the urban variety. The Las Vegas Strip is a four mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard south of the city and is known for its concentration of resort hotels, casinos, restaurants and high-rise residences that collectively form a unique and iconic skyline. This collection of images shows some of the unusual and exotic architecture that can be found on The Strip.
