Las Vegas Strip is mostly outside the City of Las Vegas

The stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard known as the Strip is predominantly located in unincorporated Clark County, principally the towns of Paradise and Winchester, rather than within the municipal boundaries of the City of Las Vegas. Major resorts along the central Strip commonly use 'Las Vegas' in their postal addresses despite being outside the city's jurisdiction. This jurisdictional arrangement affects local services, zoning, and tax oversight because those areas are governed by Clark County. The Bellagio casino resort is a frequently cited example of a Strip property that lies outside the City of Las Vegas.
