Las Vegas (often abbreviated to
"Vegas") is the most populous city in the state of Nevada, United
States, the seat of Clark County, and an internationally known vacation,
shopping, entertainment, and gambling destination.
LasVegas was established in 1905
and officially became a city in 1911. It is the largest U.S. city
founded in the 20th century.

The name Las Vegas is often applied to the unincorporated areas
of Clark County that surround the city, especially the resort areas on
and near the Las Vegas Strip. This 4½ mi (7.2 km) stretch of Las Vegas
Boulevard is mostly outside the Las Vegas city limits, in the
unincorporated towns of Paradise and Winchester.
The center of gambling in the United States, Las Vegas is
marketed as The Entertainment Capital of the World, also commonly known
as Sin City, due to the popularity of legalized gambling, availability
of alcoholic beverages at any time (as is true throughout Nevada), and
various forms and degrees of adult entertainment. The city's glamorous
image has made it a popular setting for films and television programs.
The primary drivers of the Las Vegas economy have been the
confluence of tourism, gaming, and conventions
which in turn feed the retail and dining industries. Several companies
involved in the manufacture of electronic gaming machines, such as slot
machines, are located in the Las Vegas area. In the 2000s retail and
dining have become attractions of their own.
Tourism marketing and promotion are handled by the Las Vegas
Convention and Visitors Authority, a county wide agency. Its annual
Visitors Survey provides detailed information on visitor numbers,
spending patterns and resulting revenues.
