Driving

Below are some general driving directions to get to Las Vegas. We recommend Google Maps for specific directions from your location.

From East

From east of Las Vegas, travellers typically drive on I-40 through Arizona, and then head north toward Vegas on US-93 in Kingman, before finally picking up I-15. This route will take you along the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and directly through Boulder City, near the Hoover Dam.

From the north, I-15 meets the Arizona border at the more relaxed town of Mesquite, Nevada and shortly goes into Utah. The junction of I-70 and I-15 is where most people driving from the east will take. Those from further north may meet I-15 from I-80 in Salt Lake City.

From North

Those traveling from north of Las Vegas drive on US-95 from Reno and Tonopah. This is a two lane highway until it reaches the community of Mercury, where US-95 is a four lane highway.

From Southern California

Take I-15 approximately 280 miles until you hit Las Vegas. Attractions along the I-15 include the California towns of Barstow and Baker; the Mojave Desert; and small hotel-casinos in Nevada at Primm (at the California border) and Jean, respectively.

Bus

The Downtown Las Vegas Greyhound station offers bus service to and from more than 2,300 destinations across North America.

LuxBus America offers daily bus service to Las Vegas from Southern California.
