The Las Vegas Range is a north–south range, with two main north–south ridgelines. The highpoint of the range,
Gass Peak, is in the south massif above the
Las Vegas Valley. The southern portion of the Las Vegas Range has the linear ridgelines ending at the
massif at the south, defining the northern
Las Vegas Valley metropolitan area, including the city of
North Las Vegas. ;Region The range is on the southeast of the
Sheep Range, which itself is a massive north–south range. Both ranges are
Basin and Range block faulted. To the east is another north–south
Arrow Canyon Range. The
U.S. Route 93 highway runs between the two ranges, and travels along the border of the
Desert National Wildlife Refuge to the west. ==See also==
