The Las Vegas Strip is a four miles portion off Las Vegas Boulevard South and only a small section of it is within the actual city limits of Las Vegas. The Strip was reportedly named by police officer Guy McAfee, after his hometown's Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. McCarran Airport is at the southern end of The Strip, along with the famous Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign.
In addition to some of the largest world class hotels, casinos and resorts, The Strip is home to a few smaller casinos, motels, and other attractions, such as M&M World, Adventuredome and the Fashion Show Mall. Since the mid 1990s, The Strip has become a popular New Year's Eve celebration destination.
