This eastern most segment of the Trail has been open since 2008. This is the first stretch of the Flamingo Arroyo Trail, that when finished, will extend to the UNLV campus.

The trail begins near the Sunrise Trailhead located on the northern boundary of the County Wetlands Park. To get to the trailhead go east on Vegas Valley Drive then turn south on Hollywood and follow the road for about 2.5 miles.

Currently, the trail extends northwest for almost two miles to Desert Inn.  The segment that will connect from Desert Inn north to the pedestrian bridge at Vegas Valley is expected to be completed in 2012 as part of a development project adjacent to the Las Vegas Wash.

Flamingo/Arroyo Trail, Phase II

Completed in the fall of 2010, this phase of the project included the installation of unique public amenities along portions of the Flamingo/Arroyo Trail. These amenities include trailheads, benches, signs, entry archways and shade shelters. Trailheads are located near Pecos McLeod, Lamb Boulevard, Sloan Lane and a wayside west of Sunrise Trailhead.

It is interesting to note that the artists hired to design many of the amenities, Kevin Berry, Barbara Grygutis and Buster Simpson, took much of their inspiration for the shade shelters/benches from early Paiute basketry and shade shelters.

To add some local historic flavor, the artists also incorporated large pieces of concrete rubble from the Stardust Hotel that was built in 1955 and imploded in 2007. These blocks from the Stardust pool were installed at the Pecos McLeod and Lamb Boulevard trailheads to serve as benches.

The Stephanie Street to I-515 section of the Flamingo/Arroyo Trail is open to the public. This trail segment is a key link of the Las Vegas Valley Primary Trails System and much of the route will be lighted for use at night.

This three-mile facility connects to the pedestrian bridge over Vegas Valley near the Las Vegas Wash. This unique trail section combines on-street connections along Vegas Valley and Nellis and an off-street trail adjacent to the Flamingo Wash between Nellis and I-515.

The last segment of this project completes the 5-mile long multi-use trail along the west side of the I-215 Beltway between Tropicana and Charleston. It is an important component of the Las Vegas Valley Primary trails system and a key link to proposed trails in the City of Las Vegas. This trail provides recreation opportunities and an alternative transportation route for some employees that bike to work.

Trails will ultimately connect the Tropicana, Flamingo, Blue Diamond and Red Rock detention basins with recreation facilities and trailheads. These facilities will provide a regional backbone of trails in the southwest Las Vegas valley area and will offer a variety of unique recreational opportunities.

The first part of this trail project will extend from Durango west through the Blue Diamond Wash to the Blue Diamond Detention Basin including an equestrian trail.  Construction is expected to complete in 2011.
