SR 593 begins at Dean Martin Drive (formerly Industrial Road). From there, the highway travels east over Interstate 15 and crosses Las Vegas Boulevard (former SR 604). The highway continues east to provide access to McCarran Airport and serves the southern end of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus (including the Thomas & Mack Center). SR 593 continues following Tropicana Avenue east past Interstate 515 and U.S. Routes 93 and 95 before terminating at Boulder Highway (SR 582).
Much of Tropicana Avenue is designated as a part of the National Highway System (NHS). SR 593 from Dean Martin Drive to the I-515/US 93/US 95 junction comprises the state maintained portion of this NHS routing. Tropicana Avenue between Rainbow Boulevard (SR 595) and Dean Martin Drive is a locally maintained part of the NHS.[1]
Tropicana was originally named Bond Road before it was renamed after the resort adjacent to the street.
The state maintained portion of Tropicana Avenue previously extended from its current terminus west to Rainbow Boulevard (SR 595). This portion of SR 593 had been relinquished to Clark County by 2006.
