Harry Reid International Airport is outside city limits

Harry Reid International Airport (formerly McCarran) is located in unincorporated Paradise in Clark County rather than within the municipal boundaries of the City of Las Vegas. Despite the airport's Las Vegas postal address, it is governed by Clark County for land use and many services. The airport's placement highlights the recurring mismatch between postal city names and actual municipal jurisdiction in the Las Vegas Valley. The airport has served the region from this location since 1942 under various names and expansions.
