Looking through an old picture book I saw Strip pictures from the 70's
with gas stations.
Are there still any gas stations right ON the Strip?
By Strip I will specify as south of Sahara Ave. and north of the
Mandalay Bay.

There's an ARCO station at 3873 S. Las Vegas Blvd. That's across from
Excalibur.

Not ON the strip, but the Arco across from the Hilton/behind
the Rivier, on Paradise near the LVCVA, generally has low prices
and usually isn't crowded.

Shawn Hirn,

You have to stop letting your Google searches lead you to believe you
know anything about Las Vegas.

There is no gas station on the corner of Tropicana and LVB. That corner
is occupied by the NYNY, MGM, Tropicanna and Excalibur hotels. The AM-PM
is 1 very long block S at the corner of Reno and LVB, across from Luxor.
There is also no gas station across from the Sahara on LVB. The station
near the Strat is a Circle K, on the corner of LVB and Cleveland. 2
blocks N from the corner of LVB and Sahara. And as we all know, a block
in Las Vegas can be half a mile somewhere else.

I think this was torn out when the Monte Carlo was built. I do
remember it well. :)
