Clark County is home to the world-famous Las Vegas Strip, heart of the Entertainment Capital of the World and site of 14 of the nation's 15 largest hotels. This jewel in the desert lures many of the 38 million tourists who come to the Las Vegas community each year to enjoy its world-class entertainment and hospitality, splendid casinos, fine restaurants and dazzling array of shopping venues.
This excitement is surely a factor in the nation-leading growth of Clark County's booming population of 1.7 million. Another factor is the high quality of life afforded by its low tax rate, wonderful business climate, great weather, friendly people and smorgasbord of recreational venues.
Those venues stretch beyond the Strip to include the gambling destinations of Mesquite, Primm and Laughlin, located on the fun-filled Colorado River. But they also feature Lake Mead National Recreation Area and engineering marvel Hoover Dam, Mt. Charleston and the Toiyabe National Forest, Red Rock Canyon, the Valley of Fire and parks, museums and recreational and cultural attractions.
