Top 10 Man-Made Wonders

Las Vegas Strip

You needn’t leave the country to see many of the world’s man-made wonders – just visit this desert oasis in Nevada instead, where, in a roughly four-mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard South, aka The Strip, you can see an Egyptian pyramid, Arthurian castle, Arabian Kasbah, the Statue of Liberty, St. Mark’s Square, the Eiffel Tower, and more, as part of its celebrated skyline. Aside from the sheer superficial splendor of it all, Vegas' core existence is a downright miracle, given its harsh desert climate and terrain. Thanks to the engineering genius that went into the 1936 damming of the Colorado River, some 30 miles southeast of the city – resulting in the famous Hoover Dam (itself a man-made marvel of sorts) – an energy jackpot was born to keep this pulsating desert anomaly alit in neon lights.
