The best option for running off of The Strip and Main St. is the residential neighborhood accessible from the southern end of the Strip. This is the area between E. Sahara Ave. and east of Las Vegas Blvd., to E. Charleston Blvd. and west of Fremont St. Some sections are a bit dodgy but it is generally OK.

Might not be beautiful, but a one-of-a-kind run. Our guide to running The Strip and (unattractive) side streets. Best to go early. Also good to run at night. Video excerpts!
The best option near the Strip. Decent side road up to the Univ. of Las Vegas Campus.
Downtown Las Vegas is more run-able than the Strip. While not exactly bucolic, running downtown gives a sense of the “Old Las Vegas”. Fremont Street Experience, other fun sites.
A 300 acre green oasis only a couple of miles from the airport. There's a 9-acre lake, and 3.5 miles of trails. Also playgrounds, picnic areas, and opportunities for multiple types of recreational activity. See park map for trail details.
In West Las Vegas & Summerlin, a terrific loop of up to 8 miles, using the Lone Mountain, Bonanza, & Angel Park multi-use trails, and a path through Pueblo Park. Also a running track at the Bette Wilson Soccer Complex.
Head 5 miles west of the Strip to run in the most pleasant residential neighborhood in Las Vegas. This 2-square-mile master planned community has many quiet streets around man-made lakes, featuring some of Las Vegas' most spectacular homes.
2,900-acre park 20 mins. from the Strip with many miles of trails through wetlands & desert vegetation, with views to the mountains. 3+ miles of paved trails in the 'Nature Preserve', and a 14-mile Wetlands Loop Trail along the Las Vegas Wash.
Paved, hilly 34-mile trail in the Las Vegas Valley surrounding the River Mountains, connecting Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Hoover Dam, Henderson, and Boulder City. Our favorite section is the northern 14 miles heading east, downhill with great views of Lake Meade.
This suburban rail trail runs along alongside an active railroad, separated by a fence. The northern terminus is Acacia Park in Henderson, 15 miles southeast of Las Vegas.
A great way to experience running in the Mojave Desert, only 17 miles from the Strip. 30 miles of trails, dirt roads, (many of them run-able), and a 13-mile Scenic Drive loop, which is safe for running. Gorgeous views. Hit at sunrise/sunset, or when there are wildflowers!
A wide, gravel-surfaced 2.2 mile perimeter path around the base of Lone Mountain. Only 20 minutes from downtown Las Vegas. Good views of the surrounding mountains. Hike to peak is a steep 1/2 mile.
A spectacular 3.5 mile gravel trail between the Lake Mead Visitor Center and Hoover Dam. About a 45 min. drive from Las Vegas. Great views and several tunnels.
Mt. Charleston and Valley of Fire State Park both are worthy destinations for running if you have the time…and a car.
