It's time we took one of America's most visited streets and made it car-free. The Las Vegas Boulevard resort corridor brings in over 100,000 new tourists every single day, and over half of them walk as a primary form of travel while they're in town -- yet the street is designed to streamline car travel, with the pedestrian environment a distant afterthought.

This video explores the question: what if we prohibited car travel on the Strip, and used the extremely wide right-of-way for a people-centered use, like linear parks, new development down the center, or pop-up uses? Join me today as I give you my closing thoughts on Las Vegas before I move on to my next destination.
