Take a good look at the images in this post. Click on them to enlarge and look closer. You'll be utterly amazed. I am.
I know others have taken note of strange glitches of Google Maps -- I believe Excalibur used to show up in the middle of the Wynn Golf Course -- but this is just insane. On the map above, Aria is north of Cosmo, the Crystals is south of Veer and there's a make-believe road called Business Lane.
At least those places are in the right vague vicinity on that one. Treasure Island...
...is north of Circus Circus! How unfortunate for them!
I feel for anyone who went out to this lonely spot to buy Lion King tickets...
...or thought they'd find the Las Vegas Strip east of Hooters...
...or looked for the Palazzo south of The Venetian...
...or tried to decide why there are two Wynn Las Vegases so they could get to their table at Alex:
Anyone else stumped as to where they got the name "Emerald Green Golf Course" for Bali Hai...
...as either the Mojave Freeway or the Barstow Freeway?
As for Vdara, which is what I was looking up in the first place, it's particularly alarming that their own paid Google ad provides this map...
...putting the hotel, umm, east of Eastern Avenue. Also, Google thinks...
...Aria is there, too. Hmmm. That could explain a lot about the hotel's occupancy, doesn't it?

Y'know, you can get that stuff fixed. RIght-click on the map, and there will be a "Report a problem" choice in the pop-up. They actually do fix stuff -- for example, my own street used to be marked as going through to Sahara, confusing limo drivers etc.; it's corrected now. I've also fixed a half-dozen wrong streets in our Sierra Nevada hometown.
