The Las Vegas Strip certainly is one of the most famous trails in the entire country. Millions of people stroll the strip, gazing at the hotels and glamorous attractions. But soon our tourists will look down at the sidewalk and observe the Las Vegas Walk of Stars.

Recently, the County Commission approved an agreement between Clark County and The Motion Picture Hall of Fame Foundation (a charitable organization doing business as the Las Vegas Walk of Stars) to install commemorative stars in the sidewalks on the Las Vegas Strip.

"As a board, we believe in recognizing the talents of those who have contributed significantly to the tremendous success of Southern Nevada," said Commissioner Rory Reid. "What better way to do that than by allowing our millions of visitors, who walk the Strip each year, to see the names of those important people displayed so prominently."

The people who will be considered for a star are prominent personalities in the entertainment, sports, literary, humanitarian and civic areas of interest that have been associated with Clark County.

The Las Vegas Walk of Stars will be placed on the Strip’s sidewalks from Sahara Avenue to Russell Road. This public-private partnership is expected to enhance the tourist experience for Clark County’s visitors. Red carpet ceremonies will accompany the unveiling of each star, which will be made of solid granite.
