Russell Road is a section line road within the Las Vegas Valley of Clark County, Nevada. It is no longer a continuous road through the valley, as Harry Reid International Airport interrupts its right of way. The eastern section terminates at the eastern edge of the airport, with the road resuming at Las Vegas Boulevard on the western edge of the airport. The intersection of Russell Road and Las Vegas Boulevard is often considered to mark the southern terminus of the Las Vegas Strip.{{cite web| url = https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2018/dec/23/vegas-strip-s-boundary-debated-20181223/| title = Vegas Strip's boundary debated}}
