State Route 593
Nevada 593 is Tropicana Avenue, a major east-west arterial that crosses Las Vegas Boulevard at the intersection that houses four major casinos: MGM Grand, New York New York, Excalibur, and Tropicana. It is also a principal route from the Strip to Harry Reid International Airport. With high traffic volumes and direct access to the airport, Nevada 593 has as many as ten lanes, even though it is a local access street with no freeway sections. The state route begins at Dean Martin Drive (former Industrial Road) and travels east through the unincorporated community of Paradise to Nevada 582 (Boulder Highway) after the interchange with Interstate 515 and U.S. 93-95.
