File:Gass Peak, Las Vegas Range, Near Las Vegas, Nevada (14203698665).jpg
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.
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.
