I don't see any problem with listing City of Lost Wages as a nickname. Whether it's official or not is completely irrelevant, what matters is that it's used. Ego White Tray ( talk) 04:39, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
Why is there no mention of this besides a small mention in the Geography section? There's no expansion on it. Can someone add it? I recall something about the volume of the lake they get most of their water from declining over the years. I think it's an issue worthy of it's own section at least. I thought water was becoming a huge issue in Las Vegas, maybe I'm wrong and it's not that notable. RocketLauncher2 ( talk) 00:17, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
I just undid a change to the June record high temperature, based on the June 2013 record. The reason: the current chart states it is for the years 1981 through 2010, and the source it uses is so based. We should probably update the record highs and lows, but we need a reliable source for this -- and I would not want to use a different source for each value, so it would be a bad idea to use newspaper articles and such.-- Larry ( talk) 03:59, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

The source for the 9th reference (history of Las Vegas) is not done properly. The author is wrong. The source is also not very authoritative. I am sure a better source could be found.

The picture of the skyline is terrible. I would propose something like this... (( http://dansmarathon.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/las-vegas-aerial.jpg?w=630&h=222 )) .. It much better describes the city.. It shows everything from downtown to the lower valley (Strip). Current one is is just so plaine and doesnt even really show the actaul downtown Vegas skyline. XSTLxCody ( talk) 07:57, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
No, the boundaries drawn by corrupt casino owners are not a suicide pact, and can not by themselves determine the content of this article. With McCarran being the primary airport serving Las Vegas (regardless of its location), there is no reason not to mention it. Ego White Tray ( talk) 04:03, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi. I'm going through all the US Cities (as per List of United States cities by population) in an effort to provide some uniformity in structure. Anyone have an issue with me restructuring this article as per Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/US Guideline. I won't be changing any content, merely the order. Occasionally, I will also move a picture just to clean up spacing issues. I've already gone through the top 20 or so on the above list, if you'd like to see how they turned out. Thoughts? Onel5969 ( talk) 16:00, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
I don't see why the scope of this article needs to be strictly limited to the city proper. I don't see any discussion about this issue on this talk page.
The title of this article is not City of Las Vegas. It is Las Vegas. That term commonly refers to the city + the strip. While I agree there should be a separate article on the strip, I think it's reasonable to have a summary subsection in this article about the strip, including noting it is not within the city limits. Also, I don't see the harm in having a photo of the strip there. -- B2 C 20:59, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
What are we requiring here for a better image upload?-- Mark Miller ( talk) 22:29, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
Hi again. I'm going to start posting pics (all of which are from Commons, and usable). Anyone feel free to add, but let's keep them numbered, so we can easily talk about them. Some might not be appropriate since they are more of the strip than the city.
Onel5969 ( talk) 01:51, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the work, Onel5969. You're correct that some of the pictures are not of the city. Here's what I think I see, by number:
1: not of the city
2. if that Charleston Blvd looking west, some of the picture tp the right might be the city, but I 'm not sure.
3. not of the city - oh, the irony of the name of the project! CityCenter is located on the Strip.
4. Yes! - with the Strip in the background.
5. I'm terrible when it comes to recognizing images, and don't know which direction this is pointing. It might or might not be the city.
6. Same as #5, although I think parts of this are of the city.
7. not of the city - mostly of the Strip.
8. Yes!
9. not of the city - the Strip in the background.
10. not of the city - the Strip, looking south.

I am curious as to why more recent U.S. Census population estimates are not shown in the article. Checking the edit history, I note that someone tried to add the 2012 estimates a while ago, but were reverted by someone else who said in their summary that only the 2010 census count should be in the infobox. Fair enough, I suppose, but I don't see any discussion of that here on the talk page or in the archive. The information I would add is the 2013 census estimate, which is 603,488, up from 583,756 at the 2010 census. Here's the source: [1]. -- Ken Gallager ( talk) 19:05, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
Ahoi :) Could someone of you share images at Wikimedia Commons of the Smith Center for the Performing Arts? It's still U/C in the 2010 pic to the right. I mean it turned out really imposing, check the photos at David M. Schwarz Architects! This is purely magnificent. Neo Art Deco. I'd be so thankful for some recent photos. Thanks and all the best, Horst-schlaemma ( talk) 11:02, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
I agree Horst-schlaemma! As an important part of Las Vegas, some striking night photos of The Smith Center would be much appreciated and extremely helpful to the article. Bporter28 ( talk) 14:41, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
Okay Vegaswikian, Mark Miller, and Larry - I took the 6 pics out of those above which were of the city (I'd like to replace 2 of the aerial shots from the Stratosphere with other more specific photos, and will do so if you can suggest some. But here's the montage I came up with. Thoughts? Onel5969 ( talk) 22:27, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
, or would be better. There are many other choices. The picture with the airplane is really bad for it's perspective. It makes it look like the tower is next to the airport! It is not. Vegaswikian ( talk) 22:06, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
Hi, @ Bporter28:! I reverted your change to Las Vegas. Two of the six images were not of the city proper. Also, there's a very recent discussion about the main image on the talk page, beginning with section "Main Image", then continuing with this section ("Montage"). If you want to discuss this issue, it would be best to add your concerns here. -- Larry/Traveling_Man ( talk) 04:09, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
Hi Larry/Traveling_Man! Thanks for the feedback. I was unaware of this conversation on the Talk Page. I am concerned about the new montage as many of the photos are virtually the same and do not actually SHOW the city, as many of the other collages for major cities on Wikipedia do. I have currently reverted to the original photo. I feel we should hold off on the montage until we can compile an appropriate montage which does more justice for the city and shows more of what the city is about and has to offer.( talk) 21:23, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
How do we feel about this one?
User:Bporter28 (
talk) 21:23, 21 October 2014 (UTC) (Montage moved up next to other montage)
I like some of the pics in the second montage, will switch them out with some in the first. By Thursday, I'll have a new montage (am working on a different project, sorry about the delay). Onel5969 ( talk) 12:32, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
Sounds good! I feel that the photo of downtown in the upper left hand corner of the first montage needs to be switched out, as that photo is several years old and the skyline has changed quite a bit since then. The image is also fairly low quality. I also feel that the plane should definitely be switched out as it doesn't really have anything to do with the city specifically. The World Market Center, Smith Center, Lou Ruvo Brain Center, and City Hall are all much more relevant and important to the article in question. If you're looking to replace the downtown photo, the panorama in the bottom of the second montage is a good substitute. User:Bporter28 ( talk) 13:31, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
In the meantime Onel5969, I would really like to use the second montage as I think it shows more relevance to the article, and a variety of landmarks rather than just desert skyline. Thank you! On a side note, I think the second montage that we have is completely appropriate, showing both the city skyline, as well as the landmarks contained within, all with clear, high quality images. Nothing is redundant and the montage is appropriate to the article. All other major city montages on Wikipedia show the landmarks of the city, and this one shows those within the city proper of Las Vegas, not those within Paradise or Winchester. User:Bporter28 ( talk) 14:18, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
Onel5969, I would like to use the new montage above (Las Vegas Montage Option 3) for the city as I spent a great deal of time compiling it. The new montage shows great detail about what the city has to offer and deals only with the city proper. Each image is a Creative Commons license and/or my own work. This took nearly a month to put together. I feel the new montage would be beneficial to the city as each image is of high quality and the montage shows each building and district in great, clear detail- much more in line with Wikipedia standards. I would also like to include information about Las Vegas being a leader in the hospitality industry because it is. Thank you! User:Bporter28 ( talk) 08:25, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for the prompt response Onel5969! I appreciate your opinion. I think the extra photos do justice for the city as they show more of the city as a whole, rather than just three buildings and two skyline scenes. When I look at other major cities, such as New York City and Los Angeles, each has many different photos in their montage and I tried to do the same here for better quality standards. I tried to find photos in the new montage that showed greater clarity. The Smith Center, for example, now the entire building can be seen rather than just one portion of it. In addition, I was able to factor in city districts, such as Fremont East, Arts District, and the industrial district around Charleston that show more of Las Vegas city proper as whole, rather than just the Downtown Gaming area. Thanks again! I appreciate your help. As you can tell, I care a great deal about Las Vegas. Haha ! User:Bporter28 ( talk) 12:43, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
Vegaswikian, Mark Miller, Larry, Onel5969 I've looked at several other city pages on Wikipedia for quality assurance. Phoenix, Arizona, New York City, and Miami, among others each have montages which show an extensive variety of cityscapes and locations. Let me know what you guys think! I'd love some discussion. Thanks! User:Bporter28 ( talk) 12:30, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
Hahaha Thanks for the feedback Larry! :) I'm glad you like it! I can also move the daytime skyline to the center if anyone prefers. I took a screenshot of what the montage looks like in the article, but I'm not sure how to upload it here. You can check it out in the revision history though! I'm glad you guys are good with the new one as well. I think it's better suited to the article, city, and quality standards in comparison to other Wikipedia city articles. The current one is rather plain. User:Bporter28 ( talk) 14:05, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
Thanks Mark Miller and thank you everyone for all of the kind remarks, help, and feedback! I'm going to go ahead and make the change as we are either for it and/or not opposed to making the change/happy with either one. If you guys have any additional comments, or if you would prefer the daytime skyline photo in the center as opposed to the nighttime shot of the industrial district, please don't hesitate to let me know as I can change the arrangement in the montage! Thanks again guys! User:Bporter28 ( talk) 14:05, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
The section "Sister cities" states that Las Vegas' sister cities are designated by Sister Cities International. I just checked their web site, and the site doesn't list Las Vegas at all. This section has no other references except for Wikipedia itself -- which of course is not a valid reference. Should the section be removed? -- Larry ( talk) 17:30, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. The Entertainment Capital of the World. Lost Wages, Nevada. Sin City.
I see no mention in the main article of the cute-ish mis-name "Lost Wages". This is a basic factoid of US culture. It is notable enough to belong here. But how or where, I don't know... (see talk page, 2008 and 2013) (I don't know if it offensive, or who would be offended. But it is true and notable, regardless. 100,000 google matches.)

Please move the word 'first' in the sentence "the first atomic bomb was detonated at the Nevada Test Site," to just in front of the the word 'detonated' as the first bomb was not detonated in Nevada but later bombs were detonated for testing purposes.

I'm removing this phrase from the intro section:
"and is one of the wealthiest major cities in the country"
The listed source:
http://m.reviewjournal.com/trending/silver-state/las-vegas-one-wealthiest-big-cities-us
is misleading. In that source it says "Here are the 33 wealthiest cities in America with populations greater than 500,000" - but there are only 34 cities TOTAL with populations greater than 500,000 (not sure why Detroit isn't on their list) - and Las Vegas comes in at #16 - right in the middle.

@ Bporter28: I get your point about Las Vegas Valley (I was thinking of the geographical valley – in fact it makes more sense to mention Las Vegas Valley first, as opposed to the city proper, then Las Vegas Strip). However, the bold text in the hatnote is out of order; this is the first case I come across on WP of a hatnote with some bold text in it, and indeed the guidelines on hatnotes don't even mention bold text, while MOS:BOLD does not mention hatnotes. I can see no reason for this article to be inconsistent with the rest of the encyclopaedia. Also, "in Nevada" is redundant, as the other Las Vegas elsewhere are far less notable. -- Deeday-UK ( talk) 20:04, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Why in the world should the Climate section consist of English sentences, when so much of that information is best described with a table or graph?
The Wikipedia standard climate tables, for almost all big cities and many smaller ones, are quite effective at conveying a lot of climate information, about temperature and precipitation, in a very compact and convenient format.
Why exactly is that not in the Las Vegas article?
(My guess: Someone connected with the Chamber of Commerce doesn't want it widely known that some months the average daily high temperature is over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.)
In any case: This is no way to run an encyclopedia. Let's include the usual climate table for Las Vegas? Please? 2600:1700:E1C0:F340:F45D:90C:517B:2146 ( talk) 01:13, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

I see there are 6 photos of Las Vegas, and there are 7 descriptions. So is one photo missing, or is there one description too many? I do not feel qualified to fix this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.80.178.116 ( talk) 12:58, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Add the following under 'Culture': "In 2019, The New York Times called Las Vegas a surprising “literary hub” and noted that this “bookish culture" centered around The Beverly Rogers, Carol C.

The first and third picture captions at the top of the page may be incorrect. The first picture shown is not "Downtown Las Vegas". It is obviously a picture of some of the hotels and other high rise buildings along the Strip and I-15. I'm not sure what this should be called instead, since there already is a picture and caption for the "Las Vegas Strip". Also, the fourth caption "Stratosphere Tower Las Vegas" may be obsolete. I know this hotel changed its name to "The STRAT", but I'm not sure what the tower is called (SkyPod?). Bunkyray5 ( talk) 02:06, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
This article claims to be about the city proper. Then it mentions the LV Valley and even shows pictures of the strip which are NOT within LV proper. This is a factual encyclopedia. I think the article should only depict the city proper; otherwise, it should purport to be about the LV area in general, including but not limited to, the city itself. 71.226.227.121 ( talk) 10:24, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Flying out of Vegas I noticed 2 large block-sized quarries in the middle of suburbs and I couldn't find any information or articles on them. I've done a lot of early research and found that there were previously many mining sites all around what is now the suburbs, and that this specific one was previously 200 acres long but filled in [1] and now only fills 50 acres. One limitation is that I haven't been able to find any licensed photos, but I may be able to get one on my flight back. Shredux ( talk) 02:03, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
