Clark County has been one of the fastest-growing areas in the country, with more than 5,000 people moving here each month in recent years. Three out of five people move into unincorporated Clark County, often because of economic opportunities.
Those residing south of this line receive traditional urban services from Clark County rather than from any of the county’s five cities: Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City and Mesquite.

— CLARK COUNTY’S FIVE CITIES
Boulder City
Boulder City (www.bcnv.org) is known as a clean, green oasis in the desert. Located approximately 20 miles from the glitter and excitement of Las Vegas and just a few miles from the grandeur of Hoover Dam, Boulder City offers a quiet, relaxed living environment. With a population of slightly more than 15,000 people, Boulder City residents enjoy a quaint small-town atmosphere, historic charm and an excellent quality of life with a low crime rate and high-quality police and fire services.
Boulder City takes pride in its quality recreational facilities, such as Bootleg Canyon, one of the world’s Epic Trails, Boulder City Golf Course, Boulder Creek Golf Club, a year-round swimming pool and racquetball complex, tennis courts and hiking trails that provide residents and visitors with a wide range of experiences.
Boulder City initially was created to house the workers who built Hoover Dam and, as such, was a significant and integral part of the successful completion of the Boulder Canyon Project. Constructed in 1931 in the midst of the Great Depression, Boulder City was conceived by the federal government as an ideal town or a “model” city to which the American people could look for hope of a better future.
Today, Boulder City continues to provide the extraordinary service, unyielding commitment and an inviting and family-oriented atmosphere that its founders (fondly referred to today as the 31ers), envisioned more than 80 years ago.
Henderson
Henderson is the second largest city in Nevada and often referred to as the “little sister” of Las Vegas. Here you’ll find communities, such as Green Valley, Silverado Ranch, Anthem, Lake Las Vegas, Seven Hills and MacDonald Highlands.
Known as a community of small-town values with big-city efficiencies, the city of Henderson (www.cityofhenderson.com) is the largest full-service city in Nevada providing residents with all of the essential services—ambulance, fire suppression, police, sewer and water. It is seven miles southeast of the famous Las Vegas Strip and minutes away from the McCarran International Airport. Major highways serving Henderson include I-15, US 95, US 93 and Highway 146. I-15 provides immediate east-west access from California to the East Coast via I-80, I-70 and I-40 as well as north-south access from Mexico to Canada.
