Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom is talking to Las Vegas Strip casinos to see if they are amenable to pedestrianizing parts of the city\u2019s famous thoroughfare at least some of the time.<\/p>\n

Segerblom was inspired by the recent NFL Draft when officials closed access<\/a> to traffic for the stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard from Flamingo Road to the entrance of Paris and Bellagio. That was to cope with the expected influx of around 600,000 people for the three-day event from April 28 to 30.<\/p>\n

But to Segerblom, it was a revelation to see people walking around, enjoying space that would normally be clogged with traffic.<\/p>\n

one interesting aspect of the draft is the closing of the strip – i think we should consider doing this permanently, people love walking between the properties<\/p>\n
