In December 2023, NDOT, in partnership with Brightline West, an intercity passenger high-speed rail service company, was awarded $3 billion from the Federal Department of Transportation toward the Las Vegas-to-Los Angeles high-speed rail system. The 218-mile, all-electric high-speed rail service will include a flagship station in Las Vegas, with additional stations in Apple Valley, Hesperia, and Rancho Cucamonga. At 186+ miles per hour, trains will take passengers from Las Vegas, NV, to Southern California in 2 hours and 10 minutes, twice as fast as the average drive time.

Utility and other preliminary construction began in early 2024. Once major construction begins, it is expected to take approximately four years to build.
