Where I-15, I-11 and Boulder Highway meet

Las Vegas sits at the junction of I-15, I-11 and US 95, where freight bound for Los Angeles, Salt Lake City and Phoenix all cross. I-11's Boulder City Bypass, a 15-mile stretch of highway opened in 2018, pulled commercial traffic off the old two-lane grade through Boulder City and onto a modern route past Railroad Pass toward the Hoover Dam bridge. Harry Reid International Airport, south of the Strip, handled 252.9 million pounds of air cargo in 2024, with FedEx, UPS and Ameriflight moving freight through the Marnell Air Cargo Center, which is built to handle up to 100,000 short tons a year. Trailer yards, warehouses and contractor lots line Boulder Highway and the industrial blocks east of the airport.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police logged 10,174 vehicle thefts in the year ending December 27, 2024, still averaging close to 28 a day even after a 29.8 percent drop from 2023. Cargo and equipment left outside overnight draws the same attention: in April 2024, someone cut the hitch locks on an empty cargo trailer parked outside a delivery company's warehouse near Valley View Boulevard and Twain Avenue at about 3 a.m. and drove off with it, a loss that cut the business's delivery runs by two-thirds until it could replace the trailer. LVMPD's Construction Industry Task Force, formed with local builders in 2023, exists because job sites and yards keep losing tools, trailers and materials to people who come back after the crew leaves.

A Las Vegas trailer yard or contractor lot is most exposed in the hours after the crew locks up and leaves. That's when Sigma's AI person and vehicle detection goes to work, flagging anyone who shows up near the fence line or a parked trailer so an agent can check the live video immediately. If someone shouldn't be there, the agent gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and calls police with recorded footage; if it's an expected truck instead, Gate Operations lets the agent verify the driver and open the gate remotely. Either way, the property is watched on every camera, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
