This took about 7 seconds to find: http://www.wstf.nasa.gov/WSSH/Runways.htm

Gotta love google!
Here's the first paragraph:
In 1976, NASA selected Northrup Strip as the site for shuttle pilot training. A second runway was added crossing the original north-south
landing strip, and in 1979 both lakebed runways were lengthened to 35,000 ft (10,668 m), which includes 15,000 ft (4,572 m) usable
runway with 10,000 ft (3048 m) extensions on either end, to allow the White Sands Space Harbor (WSSH) to serve as shuttle backup
landing facility.
KJFK: 14,572 feet
KLAS: 14,510 feet
New York wins by a nose!
