"Stripping" in Vegas
Hello!
We are going to Vegas in a couple of weeks, staying downtown and will have a car. We'll spend a day downtown and probably one exploring the strip and maybe some other areas.
We have been to LV before, but this is our first opportunity to really explore just for fun. We like to walk, and I was thinking about parking at one (or maybe two) hotel/casinos and just walking from those locations rather than hassling with getting in and out of too many parking lots.
Does anyone who knows the area have any suggestions for a strip parking/walking game plan?

Park at Excalibur, use tram to mandalay Bay and Luxor, walk to MGM, NYNY, Tropicana, Monte Carlo, Planet Hollywood, Bellagio, Paris, Bally's and or Hooters. If you still want to see more, or if those are not on your list, park at Treasure Island tram connects to Mirage. Easy walk to Wynn, Encore, Palazzo, Venetian, Harrahs. Caesars and Flamingo.

Park at the Wynn. See that place then Treasure Island, Mirage, Caesars, Bellagio, cross the blvd to Paris, then Flamingo etc to Venetian and Wynn.
Park at Rio. See that place then take the shuttle to Caesars and make the loop above.
Park at Flamingo, or any other casino on that side (east side) of LV Blvd.
Park at the Hilton. Take the monorail all the way to the MGM. Then visit NYNY, Planet Hollywood and the rest. Great views, imo, from the monorail.

Thanks so much! This is just the kind of information I was hoping for.
We'd also like to sample a couple of places off the strip if we have time. Any suggestions for loose slots and maybe a different experience than downtown and the strip?

Green Valley Ranch (GVR) and Red Rocks Casino (RRC) are two of the nicer locals casinos. Both owned by Station Casinos, both are right off the 215 beltway. GVR is located off of Green Valley Parkway east of McCarran Airport. RRC is on the west side of Las Vegas on Charleston Boulevard.

You can drive from casino to casino. Drop your car off for valet parking and walk into the casino. Its the easiest way.
You could see more than one casino at a time. It is the walking from the parking lot and back through the casino that takes the time and involves a lot of walking.

As you have been advised - wear tennis shoes - lots of walking - we generally walk from Luxor to Stratsphere - and a decent casino in Old Las Vegas is the Golden Nugget - like the atmosphere there.
No matter where you go you will experience something different everywhere.
Enjoy.
