Las vegas already has an amazing elevated pedestrian system and is incredibly easy to traverse. Some casinos and attractions have designed their buildings to use this as direct ingress points. I do wish more large cities have a pedestrian network above ground level. It’s super cool. But closing the strip won’t bring new capabilities.
You have a city in a desert and for the majority, driving is the cheapest option. Diverting all strip traffic to parallel 2-lane roads will quickly saturate capacity.
Not to mention driving down the strip is an attraction to some.
