Las Vegas, Nevada is the most populous city in Nevada and the 24th-most populous in the United States with 641,903 residents at the 2020 census, serving as the county seat of Clark County and the financial and cultural center of the Las Vegas Valley. Founded in 1905 and incorporated in 1911, the city was settled by Mexican traders in 1829 who named it "the meadows" after its natural springs, and it became the most populated North American city founded in the 20th century following population growth that accelerated dramatically after the 1960s. Las Vegas bills itself as the Entertainment Capital of the World and is renowned internationally for its gambling, luxurious casino-hotels, shopping, fine dining, and nightlife, attracting over 40.8 million visitors annually and ranking among the world's top tourist destinations. The city's economy is centered on the Las Vegas Strip and downtown Las Vegas, which feature major resort casinos and entertainment venues in the unincorporated towns of Paradise and Winchester, making it the third most popular U.S. destination for business conventions and a global hospitality leader. Known colloquially as "Sin City" for its tolerance of adult entertainment, Las Vegas became a pivotal gambling destination in 1931 when Nevada legalized casino gambling and reduced divorce residency requirements to six weeks. Laughlin is an unincorporated census-designated place in Clark County, Nevada, located 90 miles south of Las Vegas on the Colorado River at the state's southern tip, directly across from Bullhead City, Arizona, with a 2020 population of 8,658. Named after Don Laughlin, a Minnesota native and Las Vegas casino owner who purchased the site in 1964 and opened the Riverside Resort, the town transformed from a 1940s mining and construction outpost called South Pointe into a major gaming and water recreation destination during the 1970s-1990s. The 1980s boom brought multiple casino hotels including The Colorado Belle, Harrah's Del Rio, and The Ramada Express, while the 1987 Laughlin Bridge - funded and donated by Don Laughlin at a cost of $3.5 million - connected the town to Arizona and now carries 30,000 vehicles daily. The regional population, including nearby Bullhead City, Needles, Fort Mohave, and Mohave Valley, totals approximately 100,000 residents, positioning Laughlin as a major gaming resort 286 miles northeast of Los Angeles.

The town is zoned exclusively for commercial, industrial, manufacturing, government, and institutional use with no residential land, and is currently undergoing development of a 3 million square-foot mega-warehouse complex at its I-15 exit. Jean is home to the world's largest Chevron gas station at Terrible's Road House, featuring 96 pumps and a 50,000-square-foot convenience store, along with the Jean Airport, Jean Sport Aviation Center, and a women's minimum-security prison scheduled for closure by July 2026. Originally named Goodsprings Junction, the town was renamed Jean on June 28, 1905, by postmaster George Arthur Fayle in honor of his wife, and will serve as the entry point for the planned Southern Nevada Supplemental Airport currently in development. Jean has been featured in numerous major Hollywood films including Casino (1995), The Hangover (2009), and Pearl Harbor (2001), and is home to Seven Magic Mountains, a popular tourist attraction created by artist Ugo Rondinone in 2016.
