Primary and secondary public education is provided by the Clark County School District (CCSD), which is the fifth most thickly settled school district in the nation (projected enrollment for the 2007–2008 school year is 314,000 students in grades K–12).

Currently, Las Vegas is without any major-league level sports teams. However, Las Vegas`s metropolitian populus is as large (and in some cases, bigger) than current cities with professional sports teams such as San Antonio, Portland, Oregon, Indianapolis, and Green Bay, Wisconsin so populus is not an issue. The actually hurdle the city needs to overcome is professional leagues being concerned about legalized sports betting and the competition for residents` entertainment budget. High profile one-time sporting events, though, have had success. For example the Las Vegas metropolitan area hosted the NBA 2007 All-Star Game. The NASCAR Nextel Cup series race in the area has drawn up to 165,000 fans. Neither of these events have taken place directly in Las Vegas city limits (although that is no different than most cities teams that play in subcitified areas).

A large number of the people who live in what they call "Las Vegas" actually reside in neighboring incorporated cities or unincorporated communities. In fact, of the approximately 1.8 1,000,000 people who live in the Las Vegas Valley, approximately 600,000 actually live inside Las Vegas city limits. Approximately 700,000 people live in unincorporated areas governed by Clark County, and another 465,000 live in incorporated cities such as North Las Vegas, Henderson and Boulder City. Las Vegas and most of the surrounding metropolitan area share a police department. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department provides most law enforcement services in the city and surrounding county after a 1975 merger of the Las Vegas Police Department and the Clark County Sheriff`s Department. Incorporated cities in Clark County, as well as colleges, parks and schools have their own police departments that fall outside of Metro`s jurisdiction.

The City of Las Vegas government operates as a council-manager government. The Mayor sits as a Council member-at-large and presides over all of the City Council meetings. In the event that the Mayor cannot preside over a City Council meeting, the Mayor Pro-Tem is the presiding officer of the meeting until such time as the Mayor returns to his seat. The City Manager is responsible for the administration and the day-to-day operation of all of the municipal services and city departments. The City Manager also maintains intergovernmental relationships with federal, state, county and other local governments.

As of the 2006 census estimate, the Las Vegas metropolitan area contained over 1.7 1,000,000 residents, and contains the largest ethnic Hawaiian community outside of Hawaii.

In the city the populus was spread out with 25.9% under the age of 18, 8.8% from 18 to 24, 32.0% from 25 to 44, 21.7% from 45 to 64, and 11.6% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 34 years. For every 100 females there were 103.3 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 102.5 males.
