Las Vegas Cities
The Las Vegas Valley
Most of the world is unaware that Las Vegas is made up of 3 cities. Before most people move here, they think that Las Vegas is one big city when the valley is actually Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, and Henderson.
To make things more confusing, about one-half of Las Vegas is actually the City of Las Vegas, and the other half is unincorporated Las Vegas. Having lived in both the City of Las Vegas and unincorporated Las Vegas, I can say that there isn’t much of a difference on the surface.
This information matters in politics and taxes- unincorporated Las Vegas is actually slighter cheaper. The fire and police departments are the same, and the parks are the same. Public schools and libraries are the same and so is the shopping. Zoning and building inspectors are different, but the laws are the same. Are you confused yet?
So you know, the Las Vegas Strip is county and Downtown is City. This is why when the Mayor of Las Vegas is on TV, she is usually downtown. McCarran International Airport is in Unincorporated Las Vegas. The Las Vegas Strip has resisted becoming City for over 75 years. Even though the tax difference is minimal, the tax difference for billions of dollars is not minimal.

Compass Direction Locations

Beyond Summerlin is Red Rock Recreation Area and the road to Pahrump. Nellis Air Force Base, and Sunrise Mountain are to the East. Above the North West, part of the valley is Mount Charleston which has snow and pine trees. The South East is home to Lake Mead National Recreation Area and Boulder City.
