Most of the Las Vegas Strip lies outside the City of Las Vegas

The majority of what is commonly called the Las Vegas Strip is located in the unincorporated towns of Paradise and Winchester in Clark County, not within the municipal boundaries of the City of Las Vegas. This jurisdictional arrangement is documented in state and county records and affects municipal services, zoning, and taxation for many Strip properties. The distinction between city limits and unincorporated areas is a recurring point in discussions of Las Vegas's governance and development.
