5. Alternative Development RTC SR-160 <strong>Corridor</strong> <strong>Study</strong><br />

Las Vegas Boulevard South – The fifth and final radial alignment to consider is Las Vegas<br />

Boulevard South which runs from Stewart in downtown Las Vegas south to Sloan and<br />

includes the Las Vegas Strip. The portion of Las Vegas Boulevard South serving SR-160 is a<br />

7.3 mile segment between Sunset and St. Rose that represents its eastern terminus. This<br />

portion of Las Vegas Boulevard South is just south of the traditional Las Vegas Strip<br />

corridor. Much of the eastbound traffic on SR-160 heads northbound on Las Vegas<br />

Boulevard South to the employment base along the Las Vegas Strip. From 2003 to 2025,<br />

travel times on Las Vegas Boulevard are expected to increase 26 percent.<br />
