Now designated as a Nevada Scenic Highway, the Las Vegas Beautification Project consisted of 4 ½ miles of streetscaping the landscape medians on the greatest midway in the world. Seventy-six thousand palms, shrubs, flowering foliage and ground cover were planted.  Completed in 1996, more than 200 strip frontage property owners unanimously approved this $13 million special improvement district project, which had no fiscal impact on individual Clark County taxpayers.
