Crystal is a former unincorporated community in Clark County, Nevada, United States.[1] It lies along the Union Pacific Railroad and had a population of 10 in 1941.[2] It is now the site of a highway rest stop.
Historic maps of Nevada locate Crystal, Clark County to be northeast of Las Vegas along Interstate I-15 at Exit 75, which originally was part of the Nevada State Route 40 highway in that area. It is an enclave within the Moapa River Indian Reservation.[3]
The community was named for the crystal rocks near the original town site.[2]
