Las Vegas Blvd. Gets Its Scenic Byway Badge
It took awhile, but hey, better late than never. Las Vegas Boulevard, from Washington Ave. to Sahara Ave., has been designated a National Scenic Byway.
In order for a roadway to be designated a “National Scenic Byway,” it has to qualify by having at least one of the following qualities: cultural, historic, natural features, archeological, scenic or recreational. We’ve pretty much got all of those!
Here’s the breakdown, the way we see it:
* Cultural? Our buffets span just about every culture you can think of. Italian. Chinese. Japanese. Mexican. French. American. Endless, delicious cultural diversity!
* Historic? Take note the Arc De Triomphe and mega-historic Montgolfier balloon at Paris Las Vegas, thanks.
Yes, that balloon.
* Natural features? Yes, there are still some of those. Although, we have our fair share of silicone, too.
* Archeological? Hello, Vegas has a pyramid!
* Scenic? Don Arden’s Jubilee! at Bally’s. Chippendales at Rio Las Vegas. X Burlesque at Flamingo. Need we say more?
* Recreational? Slam dunk!
