Paradise: The Unincorporated Township That Holds the Strip
Paradise is not a city. It is an unincorporated township of Clark County, formed in 1950 largely to prevent the City of Las Vegas from annexing the casino resorts along Las Vegas Boulevard South. The Flamingo, opened in 1946 under Bugsy Siegel, was the first major resort built outside city limits and set the pattern. Local business interests and gaming operators preferred county jurisdiction over city taxation and regulation, and the Paradise township designation crystallized that arrangement.
Most of the famous Strip casinos sit within Paradise. The Bellagio, Caesars Palace, MGM Grand, the Wynn, the Venetian, and Mandalay Bay are all technically in Paradise rather than Las Vegas. So is McCarran Field, known since December 2021 as Harry Reid International Airport, which sits on the southern end of the township. The population of Paradise is approximately 223,000, making it one of the largest unincorporated communities in the United States by some measures.
Allegiant Stadium, opened in 2020 and home to the Raiders, sits on the west side of I-15 in Paradise. T-Mobile Arena, where the Golden Knights play, and the Las Vegas Convention Center are also within the township. The University of Nevada, Las Vegas occupies the northeast quadrant. Clark County provides police services through the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, which operates as a consolidated agency covering both the city and the unincorporated townships.
