- I believe my earliest memory of driving that road at night for excitement was 1979-80 in a little english sports car, back in the day where the Vegas population was 200K, and 6 cars a week used the loop. - Anonymous (3/31/13)
- This is a beautiful part of LV we had not seen until a few years ago. Now it is a must see when we come out for rides. There are also great trails if your a trail walker/hiker. Bring your camera and good boots for a little walk here and there as you stop for the scenic views. - Roxy
- This is a stunner if not too short. There are many twisties but this road can’t be run hot as there are just too many cars and bicycles. Still a great motorcycle ride. 159 between the two entrances should be considered part of the route. There is a rest stop in this stretch that is THE See-and-be-Seen motorcycle hangout outside of the strip in the Las Vegas Valley. It won’t keep you occupied all day but it is a Las Vega must for a couple hours if you are here on any kind of street bike. - Anonymous (2/19/11)
- Beautiful scenic ride with a speed limit of 25mph – one way – so you can look around all you want and traffic is light. - Anonymous (11/23/08)
