Las Vegas Boulevard is a major road in the Las Vegas Valley area of Nevada, with a length of 82.7 kilometers. The southern section of the road is known for its dense concentration of casinos and hotels, and is known as "the Strip." Once a part of U.S. Route 91 in Nevada, the highway was an important route linking Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. However, it was later replaced by the new Interstate 15, and now Las Vegas Boulevard mainly handles local traffic, with some sections being part of Nevada State Route 604.
