Las Vegas, officially the City of Las Vegas but commonly referred to simply as Vegas, is the 25th most populous city in the United States, the most populous city in Nevada, and the county headquarters of Clark County. The city serves as the hub of the Las Vegas Valley metropolitan region and is the largest city in the Mojave Desert. Las Vegas is a world-renowned large resort city best known for its gambling, shopping, fine dining, entertainment, and nightlife. The Las Vegas Valley as a whole is Nevada's major financial, economic, and cultural hub.

The city advertises itself as the "Entertainment Capital of the World," and it is well-known for its massive casino-hotels and related activities. It is a top three business conference destination in the United States and a global leader in the hospitality sector, with more AAA Five Diamond hotels than any other city in the world. Today, Las Vegas is consistently ranked as one of the world's most popular tourist attractions. The city's tolerance for various types of adult entertainment earned it the moniker "Sin City," and it has served as a favorite location for literature, films, television shows, and music videos.

Las Vegas was founded in 1905 and incorporated in 1911. It was the most populous American city created inside that century at the end of the twentieth century (a similar distinction was earned by Chicago in the 19th century). Since the 1960s, population growth has increased, and between 1990 and 2000, the population nearly doubled, growing by 85.2 percent. Rapid development has continued into the twenty-first century, with the city having 651,319 people in 2019, according to US Census Bureau projections, with a metropolitan population of 2,227,053.

As with other large metropolitan regions, the principal city's name ("Las Vegas" in this case) is frequently used to designate places outside of formal city borders. This is notably true in Las Vegas, where sections on and near the Las Vegas Strip are really located within the unincorporated towns of Paradise and Winchester.
