The Strip was picked up by UPN as a series in March 1999. It was created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, who served as executive producers alongside Joel Silver.[1][2]
The series was shot during 1999, at various locations in the Las Vegas Valley,[3][4][5] including the real Caesars Palace resort. Other locations used throughout the series included the Stratosphere resort, Eldorado Dry Lake, and a warehouse in Henderson, Nevada that served as a soundstage facility.[3][6][7][4] The series premiered on October 12, 1999,[5][8] and was canceled six weeks later.[4][9]
Reception[]
Ray Richmond of Variety wrote, "As shallow and contrived as 'The Strip' often proves to be, there is also something wonderful about a show that ain't afraid to wear its testosterone and aggression on its sleeve".[8]
