Getting there
Getting to Henderson: airports and arrival
The nearest airport with scheduled flights is Boulder City Municipal Airport (BLD), about 15 km from the city centre in a straight line; Harry Reid International Airport (LAS, 16 km) is also within reach.
Getting in
If you are coming from Boulder City or Arizona, you can either take I-11/US 93 or Route 166. Route 166 is Lakeshore Drive and is going to change into State Route 564 once you are not overlapping with Route 147 anymore. US 93 goes through Boulder City as Boulder City Pkwy, it will merge into the freeway (I-11) west of Railroad Pass Hotel & Casino. If you came from Lake Mead or Lake Las Vegas, get on SR 564 and continue until you enter Henderson. I-11 will bypass around Boulder City and continue towards Las Vegas which becomes I-515 in Henderson, concurrent with US 93 and US 95.
Getting around
If you must get around by bus, it's not totally horrific in the Las Vegas area as it could be in many western U.S. cities. Bus service in East Las Vegas and Henderson, as well as in other parts of Las Vegas, is provided by the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC). Fares are $2 per bus ride. However, it may be more useful to purchase a 24-hour pass for $5 when boarding the bus. If you plan to be in the area for a while, RTC also sells a 5-day pass for $20 at many supermarkets and check cashing institutions, but this pass is not available on the bus itself.
