The strip itself is roughly Palo Alto prices at small town truck stop quality. Small town truck stops are consistent and that’s a great thing, but McDonalds restaurants are always consistent too. You can find a very expensive smoky old fashioned (or whatever the fashionable cocktail is) pretty well everywhere and you won’t always be able to tell where you are.

Off strip is a lot more attractive both in terms of price and quality. But it’s harder to access unless you have trusted friends who live in Vegas. Locals seem to avoid the strip and seem to try to keep the strip away from their trusted spots!
