Therefore, many tourists visiting "Las Vegas" actually spend most of their time in Paradise. For many of the townships south of Las Vegas City limits the USPS assigns “Las Vegas, NV� as the last line of their address rather than “Paradise, NV�, “Winchester, NV�, Spring Valley, NV� etc. which adds to the confusion of what city or town you are in. Clark County has resisted efforts by the city of Las Vegas to annex The Strip.
