Paradise is an unincorporated town and census-designated
place (CDP) in Clark County, Nevada, adjacent to the city of Las Vegas. The
population was 223,167 at the 2010 census, making it the most populous
unincorporated community in Nevada. As an unincorporated town, it is governed
by the Clark County Commission with input from the Paradise Town Advisory
Board. Paradise was formed on December 8, 1950.
Paradise contains McCarran International Airport, the
University of Nevada, Las Vegas; and most of the Las Vegas Strip. Paradise
contains most tourist attractions in the Las Vegas area, excluding downtown.
Despite this, the name Paradise remains relatively unknown because all of the
ZIP codes serving Paradise are assigned the default place name “Las Vegas”.
