The Las Vegas Strip - Hotel & Casinos

View The Las Vegas Strip in a larger map
The Neogeography mashup of the Las Vegas Strip provides some of my favorite famous Resort Casinos and Hotels. There is a brief description of each Casino, along with a visual and a video of the Casinos. The map begins from the McCarran International Airport and travels the surrounding are along Las Vegas Blvd., ending at the famous Dining Hotel, the Las Vegas Hilton. Each Casino has its unique architecture, surrounding area, and gambling setting.

NeoGeography has allowed the introduction and incorporation of visual mapping with analytical data gathered about a certain and specific location or space. The potential that neogeography presented has allowed visually mapping out certain locations regardless of how large the area can be. The exercise extends important geographic mapping, complementary to the GIS concept that can make the combining of elements easier and quicker by using an existing tool set such as Google Maps. Neogeography has the potential to allow sharing location information on a myriad of subjects such as urban planning. It is a great approach to allow information and communication on a public level.
My map provides my favorite Casinos and Hotels, however it does not list every single Casino along the Strip of Las Vegas and in the surrounding area. A pitfall of and consequence of my neogeography map is that some information or places might be secluded and left out. This creates a bias for someone who wants to search the area for different Casinos. The extraction a viewer might pull from my map may not be what the viewer is looking for, causing a pitfall.
