With over 2.9 million visitors as of 2019, Las Vegas is the sixth-most visited city in the U.S., after New York City, Miami, Los Angeles, Orlando, and San Francisco.[8] The famed Las Vegas Strip is not located in Las Vegas, Nevada, rather Clark County and the unincorporated town of Paradise, Nevada. Clark County and Las Vegas receive an average of 38 million visitors per year. Numa6370 (talk) 16:21, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Meaning of Las Vegas

Las Vegas is not a Spanish word. The meadows is los prados. José de México (talk) 22:04, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why is the 2017 shooting in the see also section? it should be in the history section. Kennev123 (talk) 02:16, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: The link is in the See also section because that's what the See also section is for. As for why there isn't any mention in the History section, see Wikipedia:Summary style; the history section cannot contain every single event that has happened in the city without unnecessarily bloating the article. The event is mentioned (albeit briefly) in the independent articles Timeline of Las Vegas and History of Las Vegas. Liu1126 (talk) 03:08, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 18 June 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Las Vegas. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

This edit involves the opening sentence of the article. Please change the original: Las Vegas,^[1] often known simply as Vegas, is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Nevada and the county seat of Clark County., to Las Vegas,^[2] often known simply as Vegas, is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Nevada and the seat of Clark County. for clarity and reduced repetition of "county" in the lead, thank you. 97.77.64.90 (talk) 18:56, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
