Southern Nevada Supplemental Airport (SNSA), previously known as Ivanpah Valley Airport, is a new commercial airport in development by the Clark County Department of Aviation (CCDOA), located approximately 23 miles (37 km) south of the Las Vegas hotel/casino corridor along Interstate 15 (I-15) between the towns of Jean and Primm in Clark County, Nevada.

The new airport site covers an area of 6,000 acres (25 km2) and an additional 17,000 acres (69 km2) of land that are set aside as a compatibility buffer, making the new airport site over 23,000 acres (93 km2).
