[[Amtrak]]'s ''[[California Zephyr]]'' train uses the Union Pacific's original [[transcontinental railroad]] line in daily service from Chicago to [[Emeryville, California]], serving [[Elko, Nevada|Elko]], [[Winnemucca, Nevada|Winnemucca]], and Reno. Las Vegas has had no passenger train service since Amtrak's [[Desert Wind]] was discontinued in 1997. [[Amtrak Thruway]] buses provide connecting service from Las Vegas to trains at [[Needles, California]], Los Angeles, and [[Bakersfield, California]]; and from [[Stateline, Nevada]], to [[Sacramento, California]]. There have been a number of proposals to re-introduce service to either [[Los Angeles]] or [[Southern California]] with the privately run [[Brightline West]] having begun construction in 2024.

The [[Union Pacific Railroad]] has some railroads in the north and south of Nevada. [[Greyhound Lines]] provide some bus service to the state.

[[Interstate 15 in Nevada|Interstate 15]] (I-15) passes through the southern tip of the state, serving Las Vegas and other communities. [[Interstate 215 (Nevada)|I-215]] and [[Interstate 515|I-515]] also serve the Las Vegas metropolitan area. [[Interstate 80 in Nevada|I-80]] crosses through the northern part of Nevada, roughly following the path of the Humboldt River from Utah in the east and the Truckee River westward through Reno into California. It has a spur route, [[Interstate 580 (Nevada)|I-580]]. Nevada also is served by several U.S. highways: [[U.S. Route 6 in Nevada|US{{spaces}}6]], [[U.S. Route 50 in Nevada|US{{spaces}}50]], [[U.S. Route 93 in Nevada|US{{spaces}}93]], [[U.S. Route 95 in Nevada|US{{spaces}}95]] and [[U.S. Route 395 in Nevada|US{{spaces}}395]]. There are also 189 [[List of state routes in Nevada|Nevada state routes]]. Many of Nevada's counties have a system of county routes as well, though many are not signed or paved in rural areas. Nevada is one of a few states in the U.S. that do not have a continuous [[interstate highway]] linking its two major population centers{{snd}}the road connection between the Las Vegas and Reno areas is a combination of several different Interstate and U.S. highways. The [[Interstate&nbsp;11]] proposed routing may eventually remedy this.<ref>{{cite book|title=Pictures of Highway Shields: Nevada!| isbn=9781411663183 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dK4sFmxUJasC&q=Nevada+interstate+15 | last1=Rogers | first1=Carl | date=September 2005 | publisher=Lulu.com }}</ref>

The state is one of just a few in the country to allow [[semi-trailer truck]]s with three trailers{{snd}}what might be called a "[[road train]]" in Australia. But American versions are usually smaller, in part because they must ascend and descend some fairly steep mountain passes.

[[RTC Transit]] is the public transit system in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. The agency is the largest transit agency in the state and operates a network of bus service across the [[Las Vegas Valley]], including the use of [[The Deuce (transit bus service)|The Deuce]], [[double-decker bus]]es, on the [[Las Vegas Strip]] and several outlying routes. RTC RIDE operates a system of local transit bus service throughout the Reno-Sparks metropolitan area. Other transit systems in the state include Carson City's JAC. Most other counties in the state do not have public transportation at all.

Additionally, a {{convert|4|mi|km|adj=on}} [[monorail]] system provides public transportation in the Las Vegas area. The [[Las Vegas Monorail]] line services several casino properties and the [[Las Vegas Convention Center]] on the east side of the Las Vegas Strip, running near Paradise Road, with a possible future extension to [[Harry Reid International Airport]]. Several hotels also run their own monorail lines between each other, which are typically several blocks in length.

Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas is the busiest airport serving Nevada. The [[Reno-Tahoe International Airport]] (formerly known as the Reno Cannon International Airport) is the other major airport in the state.
