After SR 372, we’re 53 miles from I-15. After that, it’s ten miles north to downtown Las Vegas, though the strip is much closer.

Location: SR 160 and Gamebird Rd, Pahrump, Nye Cty

Signage as we head out of Pahrump and the road drops to two lanes.

Location: SR 160 and Mabes St, Nye Cty

It won’t be two lanes for long though – just as we head out of Pahrump and cross into Clark County, which we’re doing right here, the road widens back out to four lanes divided.

Location: SR 160 and Sandy Valley Rd, Clark Cty

SR 160 doesn’t have much signage on it in Clark County, but it does have enhanced postmiles. There’s also not many intersections so not a lot to sign, in fairness.

Location: SR 160 and Williams Ranch Rd, Mountain Springs, Clark Cty

A few miles later, we’ll pass by Mountain Springs as we had over a pass before descending down to Las Vegas.

As we head down the hill from Mountain Springs, we’ll approach SR 159, signed here in green.
