Looking for Las Vegas condos walking distance to the Strip? The truly walkable options are Waldorf Astoria, Veer Towers, Vdara, and The Signature at MGM Grand. Each sits on Las Vegas Boulevard or connects directly into a resort. Trump International is a short walk across Fashion Show Drive. Panorama Towers and The Martin are walkable with effort across I-15. Turnberry Place is Strip-adjacent, but most residents drive or rideshare. Below is a tower-by-tower breakdown, including routes, ownership type, and what to check before you buy or sell.
Key Takeaways
- “Walking distance” means very different things from building to building. Check the actual route, not the map pin.
- CityCenter (Waldorf Astoria, Veer Towers, Vdara) is the most walkable residential cluster in Las Vegas.
- Condo-hotels (Vdara, Signature, Trump) offer rental programs but often come with financing limits.
- West-side towers (Panorama, The Martin) trade pure walkability for more space, privacy, and mountain views.
- If you own one of these, walkability is a selling point worth documenting in your listing.
What Counts as “Walking Distance to the Strip”?
The Las Vegas Strip runs along Las Vegas Boulevard from roughly Sahara Avenue south to Russell Road. Most high-rises near it are technically “off-Strip,” but the walk varies widely. Some buildings connect to a resort through an enclosed walkway. Others require crossing a freeway or six lanes of traffic in summer heat.
To make this useful, I’ve grouped the buildings into four walkability tiers.
| Building | Location | Walkability Tier | Ownership Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Waldorf Astoria Residences | CityCenter, on Las Vegas Blvd | Tier 1: On the Strip | Private residences above a hotel |
| Veer Towers | CityCenter, on Las Vegas Blvd | Tier 1: On the Strip | Residential condo |
| Vdara | CityCenter, Harmon Ave | Tier 1: Connected to resorts | Condo-hotel |
| The Signature at MGM Grand | Harmon Ave, east of the Strip | Tier 1: Covered walkway to MGM Grand | Condo-hotel |
| Trump International | Fashion Show Dr, north-central Strip | Tier 2: Short walk | Condo-hotel |
| Panorama Towers | Dean Martin Dr at Harmon, west of I-15 | Tier 3: Walkable with effort | Residential condo |
| The Martin | Dean Martin Dr, west of I-15 | Tier 3: Walkable with effort | Residential condo |
| Turnberry Place | Paradise Rd, near the Convention Center | Tier 4: Strip-adjacent | Guard-gated residential condo |
Tier 1: The Most Walkable Condos on the Strip
Waldorf Astoria Residences
The Waldorf Astoria sits directly on Las Vegas Boulevard inside CityCenter. The 47-story tower opened in 2009 as the Mandarin Oriental and was rebranded as the Waldorf Astoria in 2018. A 389-room hotel occupies the lower floors, and 225 private residences sit on the upper floors.
The property is non-gaming and non-smoking. That makes it one of the quietest addresses on the Boulevard. Residents step out to Aria, The Shops at Crystals, Park MGM, and T-Mobile Arena on foot. North-facing residences carry some of the most direct Strip views in the city.
Best fit: buyers who want a true luxury, lock-and-leave residence with full hotel service downstairs.

Veer Towers
Veer Towers is the only all-residential building in CityCenter. The twin 37-story towers opened in July 2010 and hold 670 units, split evenly between the two buildings. Each tower leans five degrees in opposite directions, which gives many units clear sightlines. Residences range from roughly 500 to 3,300 square feet.
Because it is residential rather than a hotel, Veer offers a more traditional condo ownership experience while still sitting in the middle of CityCenter. Aria, Cosmopolitan, Bellagio, and Crystals are all a short walk away.
Best fit: buyers who want a true Strip address with a residential feel.
Vdara
Vdara is a non-gaming, non-smoking condo-hotel in CityCenter, opened in December 2009. Here is the detail most buyers miss: during the Great Recession, MGM converted the large majority of its roughly 1,500 suites into hotel rooms. That left only about 150 units as individually owned residences. In 2021, Blackstone bought the property, and MGM continues to operate it.
The result is a small resale pool. When a Vdara unit comes to market, buyers who have been watching tend to move quickly. Pedestrian paths connect Vdara to both Bellagio and Aria.
Best fit: buyers who want a furnished, hotel-managed unit and the option to place it in the rental program.
The Signature at MGM Grand
The Signature consists of three 38-story towers with 1,728 units total, all connected to the MGM Grand through a covered walkway. It opened in 2006 as the first condo-hotel near the Strip. Owners can use their unit personally or place it in the hotel rental program.
From the Signature, residents can walk through the MGM Grand to the Boulevard without stepping into the heat. Park MGM, New York-New York, and T-Mobile Arena are within a reasonable walk.
Best fit: owners who want resort access and rental flexibility.
From Ali: When I walk a buyer through a condo-hotel, the first question I ask is how they plan to pay for it. Many conventional lenders treat condo-hotels as non-warrantable, which often means cash, a larger down payment, or a portfolio lender. Knowing that upfront prevents surprises after you’ve fallen in love with the view.
Thinking about a high-rise near the Strip? Every building on this list has different HOA rules, rental policies, and financing requirements. I’ll walk you through which towers fit your goals before you tour.
Tier 2: A Short Walk to the Strip
Trump International Hotel & Tower
The gold-glass Trump International is a 64-story, 1,282-unit condo-hotel that opened in March 2008. It sits on Fashion Show Drive, across from Wynn Las Vegas and next to Fashion Show Mall. Owners can live in their unit full- or part-time or have it rented through the hotel. The property is non-gaming.
One ownership note: in 2012, roughly 300 units were sold to Hilton Grand Vacations for timeshare use. Buyers should understand the building’s mix of hotel, timeshare, and private owners before purchasing.
Best fit: buyers who want north-central Strip access and a hotel rental option.
Tier 3: Walkable With Effort
Panorama Towers
Panorama Towers sits on Dean Martin Drive at Harmon Avenue, directly west of I-15. Towers I and II were completed in 2006 and 2007 and rise just over 400 feet. The project was originally planned as four towers; the third became The Martin, and the fourth was never built.
The walk to the Strip follows Harmon Avenue over I-15 toward CityCenter. It’s doable, but it’s a real walk, especially from June through September. In exchange, owners typically get larger floor plans, Strip views to the east, and Spring Mountain views to the west.
Best fit: full-time residents who want space and views, with the Strip close but not underfoot.
The Martin
The Martin, at 4471 Dean Martin Drive, opened in 2008 as Panorama Tower North. It rises 45 stories with about 372 residences and was renamed The Martin in 2011. Its location and walk route are similar to Panorama Towers, and it offers sweeping Strip and mountain views from upper floors.
Best fit: buyers who want a newer-construction tower on the west side with strong view corridors.
Tier 4: Strip-Adjacent
Turnberry Place
Turnberry Place is a guard-gated community of four 38-story towers with about 720 residences. Units average roughly 3,000 square feet, which makes them some of the largest homes in any Las Vegas high-rise. The towers were completed between 2001 and 2006.
Turnberry Place sits on Paradise Road near the Las Vegas Convention Center. Most residents drive or rideshare to the Strip for dinner or a show. What owners get instead is privacy, controlled access, and true home-sized living in a high-rise setting.
Best fit: full-time residents who want maximum space and security near the Strip, not on it.
Selling a Condo Near the Strip? Walkability Is a Pricing Lever
If you own in one of these buildings, how you present the location matters as much as the finishes. Buyers searching for Strip condos are comparing walk routes, rental rules, and HOA costs across every tower on this list.
When I prepare a high-rise listing, I focus on:
- Documenting the walk. Describe the exact route to the nearest resort entrance. “Covered walkway to MGM Grand” sells better than “near the Strip.”
- Getting the HOA resale package ready early. High-rise buyers ask about dues, reserves, and rental restrictions in the first conversation.
- Clarifying rental rules. Whether a unit can be placed in a hotel program, leased long-term, or neither is one of the first things investor buyers filter on.
- Pricing against the right comps. A Veer unit and a Panorama unit with the same square footage are not the same product. Comps should come from the same building whenever possible.
From Ali: The biggest pricing mistake I see in high-rises is comparing across buildings. Floor, view direction, and stack matter more in a tower than almost anywhere else. A pricing analysis should start inside your building and work outward from there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Las Vegas condos are closest to the Strip?
Waldorf Astoria Residences and Veer Towers both sit on Las Vegas Boulevard inside CityCenter, so residents walk straight onto the Strip. Vdara connects to Bellagio and Aria by pedestrian paths, and The Signature at MGM Grand connects to the MGM Grand through a covered walkway.
What is the difference between a condo and a condo-hotel in Las Vegas?
A traditional condo is a private residence governed by an HOA. A condo-hotel, such as Vdara, The Signature, or Trump International, is individually owned but operated as a hotel, and owners can place their unit in a rental program. Condo-hotels often carry financing limits and hotel-style fees.
Can I get a regular mortgage on a Las Vegas condo-hotel?
Often not through standard conventional programs. Many lenders classify condo-hotels as non-warrantable, so buyers typically use cash, a larger down payment, or a portfolio lender. Talk to a lender experienced with Las Vegas high-rises before writing an offer.
Is Panorama Towers walking distance to the Strip?
Yes, with effort. The route follows Harmon Avenue over I-15 toward CityCenter. It’s manageable in cooler months but can be uncomfortable in summer. Many residents walk when the weather allows and drive or rideshare otherwise.
Is Turnberry Place walkable to the Strip?
Turnberry Place is Strip-adjacent on Paradise Road near the Convention Center. Most residents drive or rideshare to the Strip. The trade-off is guard-gated privacy and some of the largest high-rise floor plans in Las Vegas.
What should I check before buying a high-rise condo near the Strip?
Review the HOA budget and reserves, rental and leasing rules, any special assessments, financing eligibility, and parking. Compare units within the same building, since floor, view direction, and stack drive value.
