- This video follows I-15 North through the Las Vegas metro region, spanning between both Beltway 215 interchanges (Clark County Route 215 and I-215). Provides a partial view of the casinos along the Las Vegas Strip, and showcases the newly reconstructed North Corridor section of I-15, a $242 million dollar effort that widened the freeway from 4 to 10 lanes. The new lanes opened up on December 24, 2009.
As with all of your Vegas videos, I'm fascinated with the contrast of city and desert mixed together like it is out there. Loved the ride and the video.
Excellent job Mr Brent
@rare12inchsingles: Yes, I remember the construction too. It was a badly needed project, though. Way too much traffic for that old 4 to 6 lane freeway. Now you can cruise thru at the speed limit, even at 5 p.m.
Interstate 15 needs to be widen to a six lane freeway between Primm Nevada and Barstow California since the current four lane freeway gets congested on holiday weekends. The section between Primm and Barstow also needs a center median to separate traffic but I would not advise using California state route 127 to avoid traffic on interstate 15.
Off topic, I know, but the CityCenter complex on the right at 1:33 is a complete beast. An $11 billion beast at that. Thanks for driving by that in your video! I really wanted to see what it looked like from I-15. Excellent video, man! I'm surprised they didn't make those express lanes separated from the local lanes by a barrier of some sort. Hell, even those flimsy plastic poles used on 95 in South Florida would work haha. I'm def. going to have to make a stop here next summer after seeing this
That's pure production there, Brent. Wow, a five-vehicle accident? Would've been cool if that was caught on tape.
@VaFreeways: I'm a bit surprised that mostly everyone has been so receptive to this song, considering it's not amongst my favorite dance tunes. I just couldn't find a song that I hadn't used before, or one that simply "worked", so I pulled this out of my archived list. Glad you enjoyed my newest video!
@CosmoPhotography: Whoa, I didn't realize that thing cost a whopping 11 billion. You could certainly do a *lot* with 11 billion dollars (I'd buy out the 49ers, and turn them into a Super Bowl-contending champion).
@FreewayBrent: Yeah, it sure is, but I enjoyed the video. It's a good view.
Being a person from Los Angeles: I LOVE THIS DRIVE! VEGAS BABY!
The express lanes have been carpool lanes since 2k19, Charleston Blvd Interchange has dramatically changed in 2k19
@Freewayjim: Yup, that's pretty much I-15 for ya. 15 miles, and you're in and out of the metro area.
In CA, on small sections of I-5, I-10 and CA-60 where they converge in Los Angeles, trucks are allowed to travel on any lane as long as they merge to wherever they're going. On one section of the I-710 from the I-405 to Long Beach, they're trucks travelling on any of the six-lanes until they reach destination at the port and vice-versa.
scarey as heck first time pulling A horse trailer.... Couldn't go fast enough to suit those around me...Ya better be ready to keep up or get run down. Awesome stretch, needed something hugging the road instead of A truck and trailer. Good vid.
like the music :)
@FreewayAndrew: Thanks, man. I actually have the original footage of the aftermath of that accident on video (but no footage of the actual accident happening live, like you were implying), but I didn't wanna bother with having my viewers sit through 30 seconds (sped up 4.25x) of bumper to bumper traffic.
It took me about 6 hours to edit this video; not too bad. Thanks for watching. :)
HEY! There's my home!
@Kyukanbun: It depends on the individual state. Some states (such as California) have restrictions on left-lane usage, while other states allow unlimited access to the left lanes, unless signs indicate otherwise. In the case of California, when 3 or more lanes are available, trucks are limited to the right 2 lanes, except where signs give the O.K. to use the left lane (s). In the state of Nevada, trucks are usually allowed to use the left lanes at all times.
I've been waiting for this one! Very good indeed. Even though I live in the city, I never got to check out the I-15 expansion in the north. It looks very good! Didn't you make this video before? Or am I thinking of another? Still, videos keep getting better!
@Cyrus992: I took it down, because it was low-quality, webcam footage, and I have it on film in HD (might be a few months before I get around to it).
@onemanband08: Lets just say that I'm free to go wherever, whenever I feel like. At least when school isn't in session. And yes, you're definitely far from being the first person to ask how I get around so much. Believe it or not, *every* video I've ever filmed has been in my 2009 Corolla. I don't even want to reveal how many miles I have on my car, already. :-X
@rockersk08: Yooooo. I'm pretty sure it was the US 95 video that you watched. Unless you're thinking about my old, low-quality webcam video that I released last year (which I took down, once I purchased my HD camcorder). It's probably a good thing you never did make it up to the northside of I-15, as traffic thru there was *brutal* during construction. Glad you enjoyed this newest release of mine. :)
@platformusa2: Wow, I didn't see your comment until now, or I don't recall ever seeing it. I'll probably be back in Vegas sometime in the next month or two. I'm not sure about the night-time capabilities of my new camcorder, but the image stabilization is light-years ahead of my old Canon (I filmed this particular video with the Canon).
@FreewayBrent Like your road videos, especially I-15 through Las Vegas. Do a video of I-15 southbound from Mesquite, NV to Las Vegas, leaving Mesquite at sunset, driving south on I-15 when night falls in open desert. Then when you get about 18-20 miles from Las Vegas, you go over a hill and boom, the entire Las Vegas lights of it's skyline pops up before your eyes. It is spectacular! Next time when you go there, make the video. Nothing like it in the world.
… and not a single turn signal was witnessed that day. The end.
@ftra1987: Thanks!
@FreewayBrent Also, what editing software do you use?
@FreewayBrent I have been to Las Vegas seven times, most recent was 2007. That is a city that has changed rapidly in such a short time. The part 1:25 - 1:37 I see new high rises, weren't there three years ago. Are these the new hotels where the Stardust and Frontier were? I see one called the Vdara. Is that a new hotel/casino or just condos?
west bound section going north now read one sign then bright light next until you forget what a sign is. not quiet let yetti go. going to Vegas for the weekend
@cpDq231: I utilize the iTunes Genius program, built within the iTunes program.
@JMB106: Thank you, kind sir!
@ScorpioBornIn69: Ahhh yes, that's actually on my (very very long list) of roads to record, but I may not be getting back out there for a long time, as I'll be pretty busy with school this upcoming Winter and Fall quarters.
@CAMINOANDALUZ: No problemo, bro. What's your next release going to be??
Love this track... nice video!
Did you ever think of doing Las Vegas blvd. (The Strip) at night? With the good music you pick and the blvd. it would be a great video.
@Bryant5493: Thank you, sir!
@ScorpioBornIn69: I think the Vdara is a casino? Actually, I really don't know. I'm pretty sure it's part of the City Center, one of the most expensive urban developments in US history. You actually might want to ask CZcams member CosmoPhotography, as he's the one that tipped me off to the whole thing.
@gsnman: Kinda weird, watching your main street in a time-lapsed video, yeah?
@onemanband08: K, I'll bite. 92,000 miles, or nearly 151,000 kilometers. :-X
Wow, Las Vegas is a small city area wise! I bet the city has barely 150,000 people
***** I did not see a city with a half million people in this video. Are you sure you aren't talking about DC or Baltimore?
Ah, I see now. I looked at Google Maps and the actual downtown area is NW of I-15. I-15 just passes by the casino strip and the outer suburbs
Matthew DragonBlade The size is about average, but with a lot more people than you would expect, plus the suburbs grow like wildfire.
Megabutter The north-south distance seems small, but I guess the east-west distance is larger along the valley
If the year was 1980 you would be right.
@FreewayTitan: Me too. :)
@FreewayBrent haha yep, the largest private project in the history of the US
@geor1717: Same. :-)
I ALWAYS GO CUCKOO FOR LAS VEGAS!
