“The Park” at the Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada

Abstract

The Las Vegas Strip recently received its first-ever park, a spectacular public space. Las Vegas exists in an extremely challenging arid location, exposed to sun, heat, dust storms, and scarcity of water. All design elements mitigate these extremes to create the most enjoyable sensory experience possible. The cutting-edge design of The Park celebrates the context of the Mojave region and reinstates what Las Vegas once was — an oasis in the desert.
