Boulder Highway
Boulder Highway is a 17 mile divided roadway in the Las Vegas
metropolitan area, Nevada, USA. It begins at Foothills Drive at the
southeastern edge of the city of Henderson. It runs northwest through
that city, and the towns of Whitney and Winchester. The Boulder Highway name ends at the
Las Vegas city limit at
Sahara Avenue. The highway continues northwest as
Fremont Street for another mile, ending at the five points
intersection of Fremont,
Charleston Boulevard and Eastern Avenues. Fremont continues as an
undivided road until it intersects with
Las Vegas Boulevard, where it ends at the
Fremont Street Experience
pedestrian mall.
Originally, Boulder Highway began where
U.S. Highway 93 and U.S. Highway 95 merge, east of Railroad Pass and west of
Boulder City (about US-93 Milepost 11). This old section is also know as the
Boulder Strip
It is signed as
Nevada State Route 582. It was formerly known as US-93/US-95 before the
completion of the Oran K. Gragson Expressway now designated Interstate 515, which also carries the 93/95 designation.
The section of Boulder Highway between Tropicana Avenue and Sahara Avenue is
known as the "Boulder Strip", in reference to the famous
Las Vegas Strip to the west. The Boulder Strip contains
Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall,
Boulder Station, and several smaller
casinos and
motels.
