Significant air and road traffic impacts are likely in Southern Nevada as President Donald Trump makes his first visit since returning to the Oval Office.
Trump is visiting Las Vegas after stops Friday in North Carolina and California. He will hold a rally Saturday at Circa in downtown Las Vegas, with doors opening at 9:30 a.m. and a speech at 12:30 p.m., to talk about the economy and his “no taxes on tips” proposal.
The Federal Aviation Administration issued a temporary flight restriction for VIP movement until 3 p.m. today. A ramp freeze will take place at Harry Reid International Airport during the departure of Air Force One, according to the airport.
Although only the details of Trump’s plans in Las Vegas are known, during previous presidential visits, rolling road closures have affected the Airport Connector Tunnel, Paradise Road, Tropicana Avenue, Spring Mountain Road, the 215 Beltway, Interstate 15, Interstate 11, also known as U.S. Highway 95, Main Street and Las Vegas Boulevard.
Motorists should expect road impacts near Trump International, which is located across the Strip from Wynn and Encore and next door to Fashion Show mall. Previous Trump visits have seen Fashion Show Drive near the Trump International close to traffic while the president is present.
When Trump departs Las Vegas, a ramp freeze at Reid airport should also be expected Saturday afternoon, with potential rolling road closures on Las Vegas Boulevard, Tropicana, Paradise, Spring Mountain, the Airport Connector Tunnel, I-15 and the 215.
