LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — If one is heading to the airport or to the south finish of the Las Vegas Strip, one will need to discover an alternate route as development continues on the I-15 Tropicana Venture.
“It was kind of a pain in the butt to get here, to be honest with you,” vacationer Steve Koepke mentioned.
The most recent closure, which is able to shut down Tropicana in each instructions till Friday, is impacting folks attending to and from companies within the space.
“It was a bit of an adventure trying to get to the In-N-Out,” customer Scott Adler mentioned. “I didn’t know if it was still open actually because it looked like everything was shut down all the way around it.”
The chain of companies close to the intersection at Tropicana and Dean Martin will stay open, though it would require a bit extra tenacity to get there.
“I think we had to circle around at least 3 times before we finally found the road that actually let us access the restaurant,” Koepke mentioned. “With the different roads being blocked off, it was a challenge to get here.”
The closure is critical as crews work to transition the Tropicana interchange from its non permanent diverging diamond configuration again to a regular interchange.
East and westbound Tropicana will likely be totally closed from New York – New York to Dean Martin Drive. The southbound I-15 off-ramp to Tropicana and the Tropicana on-ramp to northbound I-15 will even be closed.
