Las Vegas is the most populous
city in
the state of Nevada, United States.
Las Vegas
is the largest to be founded in the 20th century, and is a major vacation,
shopping, and gambling destination. Las Vegas was established in 1905, and
officially became a city in 1911.
Las Vegas
has been the county seat of Clark County since the formation of the county
in 1909. The 2000 census reported that the city had a population of 478,434.
The Census Bureau's official population estimate as of 2004 was 534,847. The
city's Planning and Development Department reported an increase of 41,126 in
2005, for a total population of 575,973.
Recent figures place the population for the
Las Vegas metropolitan area, which includes all of Clark County, at over
1.6 Million people (2004), and the region is the fastest growing in the
United States.
The name Las Vegas is often applied to the unincorporated areas of
Clark County that surround the city, especially the resort areas on and near
the Las Vegas Strip. This 4 1/2 mile stretch of Las Vegas
Boulevard is mostly outside the Las Vegas city limits, in the
unincorporated town of Paradise.

Las Vegas is the center of
gambling in the US.
Las Vegas is sometimes called Sin City due to
the popularity of legalized gambling, availability of alcoholic beverages
any time (like all of Nevada), various forms and degrees of adult
entertainment, and legalized prostitution in nearby counties (it is illegal,
though, in Las Vegas and Clark County; Nevada law prohibits prostitution in
counties which have populations greater than 400,000).
The nickname favored by local government and
promoters of tourism is The Entertainment Capital of the World. The city's
glamorous image has made it a popular setting for films and television
programs.
