Question of the Day — 27 Apr 2014

I saw in today's news that Clark County's population surpassed 2 million. But what about the the city? How many people live in the entire metropolitan area including North Las Vegas, Summerlin and Henderson?

Summerlin isn’t incorporated; it’s a master-planned community that lies both within and without Las Vegas proper. The City of Las Vegas had, as of July 1, 2013, some 606,762 residents. The most recent population numbers for North Las Vegas and Henderson are 227,585 and 265,679, respectively.

You ceaselessly – and incorrectly – refer to the "Las Vegas Valley." Here’s a geology/geography lesson: A valley is an elongated depression in the earth’s surface carved out over a protracted period of time by the moving water of a river. No, the Colorado River doesn’t qualify because it’s too distant. The Las Vegas metropolitan area is situated not in a valley but in a "bowl" or "basin," surrounded by mountains on all sides. Look up at the horizon and check it out.
