Las Vegas, officially the City of Las Vegas and often known simply as Vegas, is the 28th-most populated city in the United States, the most populated city in the state of Nevada, and the county seat of Clark County.
The city anchors the Las Vegas Valley metropolitan area and is the largest city within the greater Mojave Desert. Las Vegas is an internationally renowned major resort city, known primarily for its gambling, shopping, fine dining, entertainment, and nightlife. The Las Vegas Valley as a whole serves as the leading financial, commercial, and cultural center for Nevada.
The city bills itself as The Entertainment Capital of the World, and is famous for its mega casino–hotels and associated activities. It is a top three destination in the United States for business conventions and a global leader in the hospitality industry, claiming more AAA Five Diamond hotels than any other city in the world.
Today, Las Vegas annually ranks as one of the world's most visited tourist destinations. The city's tolerance for numerous forms of adult entertainment earned it the title of Sin City, and has made Las Vegas a popular setting for literature, films, television programs, and music videos. Las Vegas was settled in 1905 and officially incorporated in 1911. At the close of the 20th century, it was the most populated American city founded within that century (a similar distinction earned by Chicago in the 1800s).
Population growth has accelerated since the 1960s, and between 1990 and 2000 the population nearly doubled, increasing by 85.2%. Rapid growth has continued into the 21st century, and according to a 2017 estimate, the population is 648,224 with a regional population of 2,248,390.
"Las Vegas" is often used to describe areas beyond official city limits—especially the areas on and near the Las Vegas Strip, which is actually located within the unincorporated communities of Paradise, Winchester, and Enterprise.

Ok let’s start off about me..First of all I put God 1st ..I go to church every Sunday morning. I’m a single mom of five children. One graduating this year in my last two years. The rest of my kids graduated already. I am just looking for a part-time job. I stay home and watch my eldest sister take care of her she’s blind I’m very good with the senior I like taking care of them make sure they’re clean well . I don’t mind driving them taking them to the appointment for the shopping. I’m looking for the part for now thank you.
Yes it's affordable, the people are kind.
I feel I would be great for this job because I’m a people person I’ve worked with all ages I use to have a arts craft class in the community I use to live in an I also did care give before
Las Vegas is a great city and community for older people close to retirement. The economy and cost of living are positive, but there are also a lot of attractions that are safe and accessible to older people. There are great school systems and higher education institutions for family and friends should they relocate to Las Vegas. I can also take online classes if I wanted to pursue an advanced degree. Lastly, there are great community organizations, including churches and religious organizations, where I can make friends and give back to my community.
This neighbor hood is not safe for anybody. Its full of a lot of drug dealing , homeless people every where. Bit its what I could afford at the time. Just being honest.
