Jean Wedding

Jean is a small community that is located on I-15 at exit 12, meaning that it is 12 miles north of the Nevada-California state line. Las Vegas is located about 30 miles to the north. Jean's slogan is "Old Vegas isn't gone... It just moved to exit 12."

The area is mostly commercial with the Nevada Landing Hotel and Casino, Gold Strike Hotel and Gambling Hall, the Jean Sport Aviation Center (used for sport activities like skydiving), a Nevada Department of Corrections Facility established in 1987 and a Nevada Highway Patrol (NHP) substation.

Pop's Oasis Casino was the first casino in Jean. The Oasis closed in 1988.

The welcome center was moved to Primm in early 2000. The welcome center was converted to an NHP substation in 2004.

The median between the Nevada Landing Hotel and Casino and the Gold Strike Hotel and Gambling Hall was the scene of the worst single-vehicle accident in southern Nevada history (at that time), when a van with 13 people flipped over and eight people were killed. The accident occurred in March of 2000.

As of 2006, Jean contains a total of 2 permanent residents, Keith and Lorna Brecheisen.
