I remember my first time on the Las Vegas Strip (S. Las Vegas Blvd.). Within the first few hours of taking in all that the Strip has to offer, I had already spotted Chris Rock (walking down the sidewalk), Michael Vick (shopping in a Dick’s Sporting Goods), and Shawne Merriman (on an escalator). You could say it was a pretty good day.

Now that I’ve lived here for 10+ years, I’ve come to learn that celebrity sightings are commonplace on the Las Vegas Strip. It’s one of the few places in the United States where A-list celebrities roam free with their fans and supporters – which is why they say to always keep your eyes open when walking down the Strip.
