Paradise, Nevada, is an unincorporated town and census-designated place (CDP) in Clark County, adjacent to Las Vegas. Established on December 8, 1950, it had a population of 191,238 in 2020, making it the fifth-most populous CDP in the U.S. If incorporated, it would rank as Nevada's fifth-largest city. Paradise is governed by the Clark County Commission, with input from the Paradise Town Advisory Board. The area is home to Harry Reid International Airport, University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), and most of the Las Vegas Strip. Despite its prominence, addresses in Paradise are listed as "Las Vegas, NV." Paradise's origins trace back to its fertile Paradise Valley in 1910, supported by a high water table. In 1950, efforts by Las Vegas mayor Ernie Cragin to annex the Las Vegas Strip prompted casino executives, led by Gus Greenbaum, to lobby for town status. This led to the establishment of Paradise, initially covering a four-mile strip. The area expanded to 54 square miles, but disputes over its formation led to restructuring. In 1953, Paradise and neighboring Winchester became distinct towns. A 1975 bill to incorporate Paradise into Las Vegas was struck down as unconstitutional by the Nevada Supreme Court.

Spring Valley is an unincorporated town and census-designated place in Clark County, Nevada. Located 2 miles (3 km) west of the Las Vegas Strip, it had a population of 215,597 as of the 2020 census. Spring Valley was officially established in May 1981. The area's history traces back to 1965 when the Stardust International Raceway was constructed by the Stardust Resort and Casino. By 1969, the raceway was sold to the Parvin-Dohrmann Corporation, and in 1970, the land was purchased by Pardee Homes. This marked the beginning of Spring Valley as a master-planned housing community, named for its views of the Spring Mountains and its location within the Las Vegas Valley. Residents petitioned the Clark County Commission to create the unincorporated town in 1981 to address annexation concerns and ensure equitable tax distribution. Originally 1 square mile, Spring Valley now spans 33.4 square miles (90 km²), covering much of the southwest Las Vegas Valley.

Whitney, formerly known as East Las Vegas, is an unincorporated town and census-designated place in Clark County, Nevada. It had a population of 38,585 as of the 2010 census. The town was established in 1931 by Stowell E. Whitney, a dairy farmer who subdivided his ranch due to the construction of Boulder Highway. Although Whitney initially struggled during the Great Depression, the town was officially founded in 1942, gaining its borders that year. In 1958, residents petitioned to rename it East Las Vegas, a name it retained until 1993 when it reverted to Whitney. Early education was provided at Whitney Elementary School, a converted barracks, while older students attended Basic High School in Henderson or Chaparral High School in East Las Vegas. The construction of Interstate 515 (now part of Interstate 11) bypassing Whitney negatively impacted local businesses in the 1990s. However, the area has since seen economic recovery with new housing developments and revitalized businesses. Locals often call the neighborhood Boulder District. Whitney is also home to Sam Boyd Stadium, the former home of the UNLV Rebels.

Winchester, Nevada, is an unincorporated town and census-designated place (CDP) in Clark County, housing part of the Las Vegas Strip. Governed by the Clark County Commission with input from the Winchester Town Advisory Board, it is one of several CDPs south of Las Vegas. The 2020 census reported a population of 36,403. While Winchester is not a postal address, its ZIP codes are designated as Las Vegas, NV by the United States Postal Service. Historically, the southern Las Vegas Valley was called Paradise Valley as early as 1910, due to its fertile land supported by a high water table. In 1950, to prevent Las Vegas from annexing the lucrative Strip, a group of casino executives led efforts to establish the unincorporated town of Paradise, approved on December 8, 1950. However, legal issues led to the formation of two new towns in 1951: Town "A," later renamed Winchester, and Town "B," now known as Paradise. By 1956, all local school districts were merged into the Clark County School District, further consolidating governance. Winchester remains an integral part of the vibrant urban area directly connected to Las Vegas.
