The Las Vegas Strip runs parallel to I-15, and its Boulevard cameras tell the event night story the freeway cameras cannot. Our Strip camera tour walks Las Vegas Boulevard from the Welcome sign to downtown, one live frame at a time.
Take the Strip camera tourNevada does not run a numbered chain ladder. NDOT posts requirements in plain language, chains or snow tires where a storm demands it, and wind restrictions for high profile vehicles when the desert blows, and the posting itself is the law of the road for that stretch. Our rules page carries what each posted phrase requires, next to the live postings for every stretch of this corridor.
Read the Nevada rules pageIs I-15 open right now?
Each stretch of the corridor has its own live verdict at the top of this page, read from Nevada 511: Las Vegas, the run to Primm, the Mountain Pass approach, and Mesquite toward the Gorge. If a stretch is closed, its verdict says so plainly, with the NDOT posting behind it.
Do I need chains on I-15 today?
Only where a posting says so. Nevada posts chain and snow tire requirements situationally rather than by a numbered ladder, and on this corridor the winter posting that matters is Mountain Pass, on the California side. The verdicts above carry any live posting in NDOT's own words, and the Nevada chain and wind rules page explains what the posted language requires.
Where do the cameras and conditions come from?
Nevada 511, the Nevada Department of Transportation's traveler information service. Camera stills are NDOT's own, loaded live from the NDOT service, and NDOT is credited on every page. This site is not an official NDOT site.
What is the worst drive on this corridor?
Friday afternoon southbound into California and Sunday afternoon northbound into Las Vegas are the corridor's famous queues, stacking from Primm toward Jean. The Las Vegas to Los Angeles page tracks that drive with live verdicts for every stretch it crosses.
