Getting Around
The Las Vegas Valley is car-oriented and large, with freeways and a valley-wide bus network connecting its communities.
By Car
I-15 runs north to south through the valley, carrying traffic between the resort corridor, the northwest valley and Southern California. US-95 crosses the valley from downtown toward the northwest, while I-215 and the Clark County 215 Beltway loop around the west, north and east sides. Las Vegas Boulevard and the major arterials, including Sahara Avenue, Flamingo Road, Tropicana Avenue, Charleston Boulevard, Spring Mountain Road and Lake Mead Boulevard, connect the valley's neighborhoods, and Harry Reid International Airport sits immediately south of the resort corridor.
Transit
RTC Transit operates bus service across the valley, including frequent routes along the Strip, on Sahara Avenue, Flamingo Road, Tropicana Avenue, Maryland Parkway and Boulder Highway, with the Strip and Downtown Express providing direct service between the resort corridor and downtown. The Las Vegas Monorail runs along the east side of the Strip, the Downtown Loop shuttle serves downtown attractions, and regional buses connect Henderson, Boulder City and outlying communities.
