I went out there last month. The only construction I recall was coming
into the Vegas Valley north of Sloan, around 25 miles into Nevada, but
that didn't cause a jam when I went through there at around 11pm. I
went on a Friday night, and was surprised the traffic, while thick in
places, wasn't bad, perhaps due to the price of gas.

I came back on a Monday, so I can't comment on Sunday traffic, which is
usually the worst.
