Q:
Just wondered how many acres of land the larger casinos on the Strip occupy? Seems like MGM Grand and Caesars Palace would have the most but maybe not. I always think about it when I visit.
A:
Leaving aside CityCenter, which is a conglomeration of casino, hotels and condos – with Aria not listed separately — here are the footprints of some of the major players on the Strip, as recorded by the Clark County Assessor. Those with fewer than 10 acres are unlisted:

•Bally’s Las Vegas: 29.6 acres

•Caesars Palace: 66.2 acres

•Circus Circus: 68.35 acres

•Flamingo: 19.4 acres

•Harrah’s: 17.9 acres

•Mandalay Bay: 118.9 acres

•Excalibur/Luxor: 108 acres (the two properties are registered as one with the Clark County assessor)

•MGM Grand: 91.8 acres

•The Mirage: 77 acres

•Monte Carlo: 24 acres

•New York-New York: 20 acres

•Palazzo: 43.6 acres

•Paris-Las Vegas: 24 acres

•Planet Hollywood: 11.8 acres

•Riviera: 26.4 acres

•Sahara/SLS Las Vegas: 17.5 acres

•Treasure Island: 19.5 acres

•Tropicana: 35.1 acres

•Venetian: 43.6 acres

•Wynn Las Vegas/Encore: 183.6 acres*

*–includes golf course

So, despite the triple-digit size of Mandalay Bay, Steve Wynn still has bragging rights to the biggest package of land on the Strip.
