State Route 582 (SR 582) is a major 16.688-mile (26.857 km) highway in the Las Vegas Valley. The highway is the former route of U.S. Route 93 (US 93) and US 95 before they were moved to the current freeway alignment shared with Interstate 515 (I-515). It connects Downtown Las Vegas with Henderson and (indirectly) Boulder City to the southeast. The highway is primarily known as Boulder Highway, but is named Fremont Street within the Las Vegas city limits.
Present-day SR 582 officially begins at I-515/US 93/US 95 interchange at Wagon Wheel Drive in Henderson, although the highway itself actually starts at the intersection of Boulder Highway and Wagon Wheel Drive just east of the interchange. From its southern terminus, SR 582 quickly transitions to an urban divided highway lined with businesses as it heads northwest through Henderson.
The portion of SR 582 between Tropicana Avenue (SR 593) and the I-515/US 93/US 95 freeway is sometimes referred to as the "Boulder Strip", playing off the more-famous Las Vegas Strip to the west. This section of Boulder Highway features a landscaped median and is adjacent to several local casinos, including Boulder Station Hotel and Casino and Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall.
