The Strip in three hours
The fountains, the canal, the Roman palace and the sphere, walked south to north after dark.
The Strip is a genuine walk and a deceptive one: the casinos are so large that two adjacent ones are a fifteen-minute walk apart, and the pedestrian bridges force long detours. Do it after dark, northbound, and accept that you will cut through the air-conditioned interiors rather than along the pavement. Everything on this list is free to look at.
