The Big Picture: A Sprawling Desert Metropolis
Las Vegas, the entire city itself, sprawls across a cool 135.86 square miles. That's a hefty chunk of Nevada desert, folks. To put that in perspective, that's roughly the size of:
- 88,000 football fields: That's a lot of room to…well, gamble away your life savings. (Don't worry, it's a metaphor...hopefully.)
- Your tiny apartment complex... 87,999 times over: Maybe Vegas wasn't such a bad idea after all – all that extra space! (Although, your rent might disagree.)
But Wait, There's More! (Because Vegas Never Sleeps)
Now, most folks probably think of the flashy Las Vegas Strip when they hear "Vegas." That iconic 4-mile stretch of neon lights and towering casinos is definitely the heart of the action. But how big is that, you ask?
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.
The Las Vegas Strip itself is a much smaller fish in the desert pond, clocking in at around 1.5 square miles. Still a decent chunk of land, but a mere shadow compared to the whole city.
