About the North Strip
The North Strip stretches from Wynn and Encore past Resorts World and Fontainebleau to SAHARA and The STRAT. It mixes some of the newest luxury resorts with the best-value classics, and it's next to the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The Monorail's SAHARA, Westgate and Convention Center stations serve this area; the Vegas Loop tunnel also links Resorts World with the Convention Center.
