According to Google maps it's about 40 mins from the Strip.
It's the closest one I know of.
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=goodsprings+nv&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=Goodsprings,+NV&gl=us&ei=31tWTMmZBZDQsAPgnrXaAg&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CBQQ8gEwAA

That page should have all the local Ghost Towns listed.
