Tropicana Intersection Finally Gets Green Light | Las Vegas News

Vegas’ notorious Tropicana and University Center intersection is finally getting a much-needed fix—after years of delays, ballooning costs, and design tweaks. Originally budgeted at $78 million, the grade separation project hit $210 million before a revised plan slashed costs to $97 million by simplifying the overpass design. The new timeline? Just two years—down from 36+. And crucially, the updated design preserves views of the Thomas and Mack Center, satisfying UNLV’s concerns. Commissioners have approved moving forward with budgeting and scheduling, offering hope for smoother traffic and fewer crashes in this long-suffering spot.
