Traveling further east, SR 147 leaves the city of North Las Vegas as it enters the unincorporated town of Sunrise Manor where it has intersections at Lamb Boulevard and Nellis Boulevard (SR 612).

The highway then leaves the unincorporated town of Sunrise Manor as it travels through the Frenchman Mountain on its northern slope.

SR 147 first appears on the official Nevada state highway map with the 1978-79 edition as a semi-circular route.

The route followed Lake Mead Boulevard (which was previously unnumbered) eastward from North Las Vegas to North Shore Road in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area; south on North Shore Road (replacing SR 41A) to Lakeshore Road; then west on Lakeshore Road (later Lake Mead Drive, now Lake Mead Parkway), replacing part of SR 41.

The northern section along Lake Mead Boulevard lacks the SR 147 designator on the 1983–84 and 1985-86 maps.
