State Route 596 (SR 596) comprises a 7.158-mile (11.520 km) portion of Jones Boulevard, a section line arterial that runs north and south through the Las Vegas Valley area.
State Route 596 begins at Tropicana Avenue and runs north along Jones Boulevard for 7.158 miles (11.520 km) to its terminus at Smoke Ranch Road.
Jones Boulevard begins at the intersection of West Erie Ave as the continuation of Star Hills Avenue.

From there it continues north to Rancho Drive where the road ends with the roadway continuing eastbound as Alexander Road. Jones Boulevard resumes off of Rancho Drive and continues north, ending north of its intersection with Jalisco road.
As late as 2006, SR 596 was officially defined to exist in two sections. The southern section began at Tropicana Avenue and ran north along Jones Boulevard 3.061 miles (4.926 km) to the Las Vegas city limits at Sahara Avenue (SR 589). The northern section resumed at Charleston Boulevard (SR 159) and continued 3.026 miles (4.870 km) north to its terminus at Smoke Ranch Road. As of 2008, the discontinuous section was reincorporated into the route mileage.
In 1996, this route was defined to extend from SR 593 north to State Route 599 (Rancho Drive). By 2001, SR 596 was decommissioned between Sahara Avenue and Charleston Boulevard. As of 2006, the southern portion of this route is pending transfer of control from the Nevada Department of Transportation to Clark County.
