Las Vegas/Henderson and East

Henderson is the second largest city in Nevada. The border between Henderson and Las Vegas has become virtually nonexistent - one city butts up against the other. This article indeed doesn't only cover Henderson but also Las Vegas east of the Strip and south of the airport.

Understand
One area of Henderson, Green Valley, was the first master planned community in the state.

From Arizona, Boulder City, Lake Mead or Lake Las Vegas
If you are coming from Boulder City or Arizona, you can either take 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. In US 93, it will change into a freeway as soon as you pass the Railroad Pass Hotel & Casino. If you came from Lake Mead or Lake Las Vegas, get on SR 564 and continue until you enter Henderson. If you took US 93, you will have to pass through Boulder City, and never take the exit after crossing over Veterans Memorial Dr intersection. It will head to Searchlight and Needles. Once you get there, it will change into an overlapping I-515, and, take any exit you want, including Wagonwheel Dr/Nevada State Dr, Boulder Hwy, Horizon Dr, College Dr, or any exit, as long as it is not on I-215.

From Central Las Vegas
Get on I-515, or I-215, or whatever road you take to get to Henderson Drive. To enter Central Henderson via I-515, take exit 61 to Lake Mead. On I-215, none, just continue till end of freeway.

From N. Las Vegas
Get on I-15, and then get on I-515 or I-215, do the same as Central Las Vegas.

By plane
