Former Nevada 166
This scene is found along former Nevada 166 in Lake Mead National Recreation Area. This route was signed in June 1997, but it was relinquished from the state highway system by November 2000 because it is wholly located within the national recreation area and thus is maintained by the National Park Service. The highway is no longer maintained by NDOT. Photo taken 06/97.

At the intersection with Idaho Street (Nevada 535 and Business Loop I-80) in Elko, Silver Street becomes Nevada 225, the Mountain City Highway. Photo taken 09/09/05.

Former Nevada 428 west
A BEGIN Nevada 428 shield was posted at the junction with U.S. 395 near Washoe Lake on westbound Eastlake Boulevard. With the decomissioning of this route, the signed route was eliminated by 2008. The signed route mostly covered Eastlake Boulevard from a point east of U.S. 395 to Nevada 429 (Old U.S. 395). Photo taken by Mike Ballard (08/12/99).
Nevada 487 west
Nevada 487 connects the west end of Utah 21 with U.S. 6-50 just north of Baker. Nevada 487 has one significant intersection along the way: Nevada 488, which spurs west into Great Basin National Park (home of Lehman Caves). Photo taken 06/20/10 by Mark Galbreath.
Nevada 488 west
Nevada 488 enters Great Basin National Park. At this point, state maintenance ends and National Park Service maintenance begins. Photo taken 06/20/10 by Mark Galbreath.
Almost all of westbound Nevada 488 is a climb uphill into Great Basin National Park, and that uphill climb continues once inside the park. Mount Wheeler, one of the highest points in Nevada, is visible in the background. Great Basin National Park, established in 1986, encompasses the former Lehman Caves National Monument as well as the surrounding alpine environment of Mount Wheeler. Photo taken 05/93.
Primm Boulevard east
Primm (formerly known as Stateline) is a growing community at the Nevada-California state line along Interstate 15. Primm Boulevard is the main east-west street that connects the casinos (Whiskey Pete's on the west side of Interstate 15 and Primm Valley and Buffalo Bill's on the east side of Interstate 15). Primm Valley meets Interstate 15 at Exit 1, a diamond interchange. All motorist services (gas, food, lodging) are available in Primm. Photo taken 02/21/10.
After passing under Interstate 15 Exit 1, eastbound Primm Boulevard meets the left turn onto Interstate 15 north to Las Vegas and Salt Lake City. Photo taken 02/21/10.
Eastbound Primm Boulevard meets South Las Vegas Boulevard at this traffic signal. On the north side of Primm Boulevard is Primm Valley resort, which includes the Desperado roller coaster visible from the street. Turn right for Buffalo Bill's, the factory outlet stores, and a shop that sells California Lottery tickets by being located on the California side of the state line. Despite the name, South Las Vegas Boulevard does not connect with the long extant section of Las Vegas Boulevard from Jean north to Las Vegas. Photo taken 02/21/10.
Primm Boulevard west
Westbound Primm Boulevard approaches Interstate 15. Turn right to follow Interstate 15 north to Las Vegas or continue straight under the freeway to follow Interstate 15 southwest to Barstow, Los Angeles, and Southern California. Photo taken 02/21/10.
An Interstate 15 north freeway entrance shield assembly is posted at the transition from Primm Boulevard west to Interstate 15 north. Photo taken 02/21/10.
