The original Elvis Presley Walk of Stars marker was installed at the Neon Museum. The official Walk of Stars currently lists a replacement marker at Paris Las Vegas.
Look for Las Vegas Legends at Several Strip Resorts
The Las Vegas Walk of Stars honors entertainers, performers, civic figures, humanitarians, athletes, and other people associated with the city’s international reputation. The names appear on large sidewalk markers inspired by traditional entertainment walks of fame.
Today, the attraction is best understood as a scattered collection rather than one continuous pedestrian walk. Visitors exploring free places to visit in Las Vegas may encounter markers near several Strip resorts, but should not expect to begin at one entrance and follow an uninterrupted line of stars.
Many markers have been moved, replaced, damaged, or removed during resort redevelopment and sidewalk construction. The official directory remains useful for identifying honorees and likely resort areas, but individual locations should be confirmed before making a special trip.
Last reviewed: July 20, 2026. Star locations, sidewalk access, resort operations, construction conditions, and the official directory can change without notice.
Las Vegas Walk of Stars Quick Facts
- Cost: Free to view markers that remain in publicly accessible sidewalk areas. Parking, transportation, museum admission, dining, shopping, and other resort activities cost extra.
- Location: Distributed among several Las Vegas Strip resort areas rather than one continuous pathway.
- Current Resort Areas Listed: Flamingo, Paris Las Vegas, MGM Grand, ARIA, Circus Circus, and the former Mirage location.
- Hours: There are no published attraction hours. Outdoor markers may generally be viewed while their surrounding sidewalks are open and accessible.
- Time Needed: About 10 to 30 minutes for a few markers near one resort. Trying to locate markers at several properties requires considerably more time and walking.
- Best For: Las Vegas entertainment fans, music-history enthusiasts, photographers, and visitors already walking near one of the listed resorts.
- Weather: Most surviving markers are outdoors. Expect sun, heat, wind, rain, and limited shade depending on the season.
- Accessibility: Markers are embedded in or displayed near pedestrian areas, but construction, crowds, sidewalk damage, and resort access can affect the route.
- Good to Know: Do not rely on old maps or articles for an exact star location. Resort construction has repeatedly changed the collection.
- Parking: Parking policies depend on the resort where you begin. Review the Las Vegas parking fees guide before driving.
What to Expect
The Walk of Stars does not currently operate like the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where visitors follow a long, recognizable trail containing thousands of markers. Las Vegas markers are fewer in number and distributed among different resort areas.
Some locations contain several names close together, while another marker may stand by itself. Visitors may also encounter empty spaces, replacement pavement, relocated stars, construction barriers, or resort entrances that have changed since an older photograph was taken.
The markers honor more than traditional Strip headliners. The current nomination program includes show-business figures, writers, civic and pioneering personalities, humanitarians, sports figures, and certain military honorees.
This is best treated as a short discovery stop while visiting a particular resort. It may not be worth crossing the entire Strip solely to find one star unless the honoree has special meaning to you.
Where Are the Las Vegas Walk of Stars Markers?
The official Las Vegas Walk of Stars directory currently organizes honorees under several resort locations. The directory does not provide precise coordinates for every marker, and some entries appear more than once.
Flamingo Las Vegas Area
The official directory associates this area with names including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, Trini Lopez, Society of Seven, Chester Simms, Donny and Marie Osmond, and Gloria and Emilio Estefan.
Paris Las Vegas Area
Paris has the largest group shown in the current directory. Listed honorees include Elvis Presley, Wayne Newton, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Frank Marino, Engelbert Humperdinck, Frank Shankwitz, Greg Reid, Line Renaud, and several other performers, authors, entrepreneurs, and humanitarians.
MGM Grand Area
The current directory associates MGM Grand with Jenni Rivera, Esteban Loaiza, Juan Gabriel, Vicente Fernández, Los Tigres del Norte, Lili Estefan, Raúl de Molina, and other entertainment figures.
ARIA and Circus Circus
Spectrum is listed under ARIA, while Mel Larson is listed under Circus Circus.
Former Mirage Location
The official directory still places Siegfried & Roy under The Mirage. That resort closed for redevelopment, so visitors should not assume that the marker remains accessible or in its former position.
Why Are There Two Elvis Presley Markers?
Elvis Presley received a Las Vegas Walk of Stars marker in 2008. The original was installed outside the Riviera Hotel & Casino and was supported by contributions collected by the Viva Las Vegas Elvis Presley Fan Club.
When the Riviera closed and the sidewalk markers were removed, the original Elvis star was returned to the sponsoring fan club. Because the marker had sustained damage, it was not reused as the active sidewalk star.
The original was donated to the Neon Museum and installed along its Electric Promenade in 2018. The image at the top of this page shows that original marker.
A separate replacement Elvis Presley star was created for the active Walk of Stars collection. The organization’s current website lists the replacement in front of Paris Las Vegas.
The Neon Museum is a paid attraction. Confirm its current admission and access policies before planning a visit specifically to look for the original marker.
A Changing Las Vegas Sidewalk Attraction
The Las Vegas Walk of Stars began in 2004 as a way to recognize people who helped build the city’s entertainment reputation and public identity. Wayne Newton was the first recipient.
The original concept envisioned stars installed along a broad section of Las Vegas Boulevard. Over time, markers appeared outside resorts including the Riviera, Flamingo, Paris, MGM Grand, and other properties.
Unlike a protected museum collection, the stars were installed in active pedestrian and resort-development areas. Sidewalk projects, security improvements, road changes, resort closures, and private-property decisions caused many markers to be removed or relocated.
As a result, the Walk’s history is easier to document than its exact present-day physical layout. Older articles may accurately describe where a star once stood without identifying where it can be found now.
Tony Sacca and Vegas4Locals
Las Vegas entertainer and television host Tony Sacca received one of the early Walk of Stars honors in 2008. Sacca was also a longtime friend of Vegas4Locals.com. His current marker location is not clearly identified in the organization’s present online directory, so this page does not direct visitors to an unverified spot.
How Walk of Stars Nominations Work
The organization continues to provide application and selection documents for proposed honorees. Its current application requires a $20,000 donation after approval, payable by the honoree or a sponsor.
Current application categories include:
- Show business
- Literary figures
- Pioneers and civic personalities
- Humanitarians
- Sports figures
- Congressional Medal honorees
The selection criteria state that candidates should have worked or lived in Clark County with enough regularity to have contributed to the recognition and prominence of Las Vegas.
Application requirements, donation amounts, placement decisions, eligibility standards, and ceremony arrangements may change. Review the official nomination information rather than relying on older published figures.
How to Find the Remaining Stars
Begin with one resort area rather than trying to search the entire Strip. Paris Las Vegas and Flamingo are the most practical starting points because the current directory lists multiple honorees near those properties.
Walk slowly and look down near the resort-facing portion of the sidewalk. Crowds, temporary displays, street furniture, landscaping, restaurant patios, construction walls, and utility work can make markers easy to miss.
Do not assume that every star listed under a resort is positioned near the same entrance. Some may be spread along a broader section of sidewalk or may no longer remain in the place shown by an older map.
If searching for one particular honoree, contact the Walk of Stars organization or the nearby resort before making a dedicated trip. Resort employees may not manage the markers and may not know their locations.
Visitors using rideshare should confirm the property pickup and drop-off area shown in the app. Review the Las Vegas Ride Share Guide before traveling between resort areas.
Tips Before You Go
- Choose one resort cluster: Paris and Flamingo provide the most practical area for a short self-guided search.
- Do not expect a continuous route: The remaining markers are scattered and should not be marketed as an uninterrupted mile-long walk.
- Check the official directory: Use it as a starting point, but remember that it may contain outdated properties, duplicate entries, or markers affected by construction.
- Visit during cooler hours: Most searching takes place outdoors with limited shade. Avoid long midday walks during extreme summer heat.
- Wear comfortable shoes: Distances between resorts are longer than they appear, and pedestrian bridges or construction detours can add walking.
- Keep sidewalks clear: Step aside before taking close-up photographs and do not block resort doors, stairs, escalators, ramps, or pedestrian traffic.
- Watch for surface hazards: Look for uneven pavement, damaged marker edges, utility covers, crowds, and temporary sidewalk changes.
- Do not drive from star to star: Resort parking fees and traffic can make short relocations impractical. Walking, public transportation, or rideshare may be easier.
- Confirm a favorite star: When one particular honoree is the reason for visiting, verify the current location before making a special trip.
