Some of the buildings on the strip are works of art themselves!

Not sure if this is Vegas but thought it was unique looking.

Chicago just unveiled an over-sized sculpture of Marilyn Monroe in the downtown area, with a flowing skirt. Now that doesn't belong in Chicago, it belongs here on the Strip, and a over-sized sculpture of Elvis, and Frank Sinatra, Celine Dion, Elton John and how many others!!!

Actually, the "skirt scene" was from the movie "The Seven Year Itch", and was filmed on Lexington Ave, in New York. But, the crowd noise (5000 people) was so loud, that they had to recreate the scene in the studio.

How about the giant golden lion in front of the MGM Grand, or the statue of Caesar in front of Caesar's Palace, or the replica Statue of Liberty in front of NYNY, or the replica of the Sphinx in front of the Luxor?
