The Las Vegas Strip Has Most Things, Including A Replicate Eiffel Tower And Some Of The World’s Finest Hotels, All That Was Missing Was A Park
An unprecedented and unique urban infill project in Las Vegas has just been completed.
The notorious Las Vegas Strip, today, is the most visited tourist destination in the world. The Strip recently received its first-ever park, a spectacular public space designed by !melk, that is destined to become the most visited park in the world.
What makes this project remarkable is the fact that private corporations, the owners of the properties along Las Vegas Boulevard, recently came to realize the value of investing in outdoor public space versus traditional (buildings) real estate development. They also see the economic and marketing value of sustainable, authentic, and contextual design. A more complete and mature urban condition has begun to form as a contrast to the prevailing thematic and artificial attractions that gave Las Vegas its familiar reputation to date.
The cutting-edge design of “The Park” celebrates the context of the Mojave region and reinstates what Las Vegas once was - an oasis in the desert.
