Ivanpah Valley Airport is a planned relief airport for McCarran International Airport serving the Las Vegas area to be located near Primm, Nevada. Since there is only limited space left for expansion at McCarran (being located adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip) a new airport is the only alternative to increase capacity by a significant amount. The project is on temporary hold as of June 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words valley and/or airport:
“I will frankly declare, that after passing a few weeks in this valley of the Marquesas, I formed a higher estimate of human nature than I had ever before entertained. But alas! since then I have been one of the crew of a man-of-war, and the pent-up wickedness of five hundred men has nearly overturned all my previous theories.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“It was like taking a beloved person to the airport and returning to an empty house. I miss the people. I miss the world.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
