Jean, Nevada

Jean is a small commercial town in Clark County, Nevada, United States, located approximately 20 miles (32 km) south of the Las Vegas hotel-casino corridor along Interstate 15, and 12 mi (19 km) north of Primm, Nevada located by the state line of California.

There is no land zoned residential in Jean.[citation needed] The town is primarily zoned commercial, industrial, manufacturing, government and institutional. A 3 million square foot mega-warehouse complex is currently in development at the Jean exit at Interstate 15 (I-15).

Jean will also be the entry point for the planned Southern Nevada Supplemental Airport (SNSA), currently in development.

Jean is accessible via Interstate 15 (I-15) as well as from Las Vegas Boulevard South, and from the towns of Goodsprings and Sandy Valley via State Route 161.

According to the Nevada Department of Transportation, over 16 million vehicles travel through Jean along Interstate 15 annually between Las Vegas and California.

Jean is home to the world's largest Chevron gas station, in Terrible's Road House, with 96 pumps, a 50 thousand square-foot convenience store, a restaurant, and an electric vehicle charging station. There are other businesses, including the Jean Sport Aviation Center and the Jean Airport. The town also houses a Nevada State Police- Highway Patrol substation, the Jean Post Office, the Goodsprings Township Courthouse, a Clark County Fire Station and the Jean Conservation Camp.

Jean was originally named Goodsprings Junction. On June 28, 1905, postmaster George Arthur Fayle renamed the town Jean in honor of his wife, Jean Frost Fayle (1883-1950). He also built the famous Pioneer Saloon in Goodsprings, Nevada.

Pop's Oasis Casino was the first casino to open in Jean in 1972. Two other casinos, The Nevada Landing Hotel Casino and the Gold Strike Hotel Casino, were later opened. Pop's Oasis closed in 1988 and was demolished. Chips and tokens from Pop's Oasis were poured into the foundation of the Nevada Landing Hotel and Casino. The Nevada Landing subsequently closed in 2007 and the property was leveled in May 2008.
