[edit] Route description
SR 589 begins in western Las Vegas at its intersection with Rainbow Boulevard (SR 595). From there, the route continues due east to cross Interstate 15 and Las Vegas Boulevard. SR 589 proceeds further west to cross Fremont Street/Boulder Highway (SR 582) and terminates at Nellis Boulevard (SR 612).
Through much of the Las Vegas area, Sahara Avenue comprises the southern boundary of the City of Las Vegas. At the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard, SR 589 marks what is typically considered the northern boundary of the Las Vegas Strip.
Some notable attractions along the highway include the Sahara Hotel and Casino and Palace Station Hotel and Casino.
