New and improved Vegas map

Sigh.... The more I look at it, the more I hate it.


Paradise Road doesn't lead to downtown. It ends at Sahara.

On the small map:

All the casinos near I-15 should be numbered 1-6. I.E. The Palace Station is #6.
The casinos on the West side of the strip are 7-20. I.E. Stratosphere is #20.
The casinos on the East side are 21-35.
The casinos on Paradise are 36-39.

Quite frankly, there are hundreds of maps of Vegas that can be found online without too much effort.

Why not just link to a few?

Here's a couple good ones:

Here's my favorite:
http://www.lasvegassun.com/history/map/
It's an interactive historical map.

Initially it looks a bit like your current map, but hover over the buildings and the name pops up. But there's more: There is a timeline at the top. Select a different decade to see how Vegas looked in the past.

VERY cool.

I too thought that the LV Sun's interactive historical map was awesome when I saw it.

One of my favourite maps can be found at GoingtoVegas.com

Its simple, shows the pedestrian crossings, and major strip and a couple of off strip. locations

The maps at www.visitlasvegas.com are pretty cool.

Should I ask to remove the chips, and have shapes approximating the size of each property?

+1.

Do you think I should ask for more streets, like Harmon, Desert Inn, and Valley View?

+.5 at least. It should help with getting your bearings, hopefully.

Maybe another thing to do is add some scale back to the map. The big thing that stood out to me is that it looks like Planet Harrahwood and MGM Grand are right next door to each other, when in reality PH is by the north side of CityCenter and MGM is across from NYNY, and it's actually about a 10-15 minute walk between them. This should also help if Fontainebleau and Echelon are ever opened; it should be a lot easier to update the map.

Also, the big bend is further south, by Harrah's.

+1 to the pedestrian bridges as well.

Oh, and if you're going to put in Hard Rock, might as well put in Tuscany as well, since it's right around the corner.

Small complaint, but I think O'Sheas should be on there if Slots A Fun is. I like the idea of a one-stop map to see ALL strip casinos...

Everything I will recommend has already been said, but I shall reiterate:

1. Please, the #1 problem, is the fact that North is South and South is North. Everyone I have had experience with sees it that way, every other map is that way.

2. Some relative size would be nice, maybe having a large map with every last detail on it.

A fun map. I disagree about including O'Shea's because it is really just a part of Flamingo and it will make the map crowded.

You should include Terrible's, Tuscany and Ellis Island however since they should fit. And Palazzo is spelled Pilazzo. Harmon Avenue should probably be in there as well.

Pilazzo is spelled Palazzo.

Oh one other thing, it would be really nice if the number/names on the second one was not in the image so that someone could use the find function in their browser to find the correct one. I believe having both is best as well.

Another minor point, the Palms is across the street from the Gold Coast, not the Rio as shown on your "Casino Chip" map. With all the mistakes, I'm not sure I would trust that map.
