INTRODUCTION
The following driving instructions to Las Vegas area high schools are based upon per- sonal observations, and are meant to assist high school sports officials with finding the desired school quickly. The route given is usually the easiest one, written for somebody who is driving across town and has never been to the school before, and may not always be the “best” or shortest route. Because you didn’t have to pay anything for this guide, no liability is accepted for errors of any sort. If you do find obvious errors, please send them to
Special thanks to Jack Young for his many contributions, especially for the small outlying schools.
TERMINOLOGY
1) “US95” is coincident with US93 and I-515 at various places. 2) “I-215” is used to refer to the beltway which circles throughout the outer portions of the Las Vegas Valley. This entire roadway will be under construction for many years to come. Some parts are officially called “Clark County 215” for now, but it is all the same road. 3) Distances were measured from the center of each intersection. Some urban intersec- tions are 0.1mi to 0.2mi wide, and may affect your readings. Allow for tiny errors in the distances indicated.
