 Looking west toward Paradise Road and the Las Vegas Strip in the CDP of Paradise, Nevada
 Paradise is a census-designated place located in Clark County, Nevada. As of the 2000 census, the CDP had a total population of 186,070. Estimates place the 2004 population at 221,000 (Rand McNally). As an unincorporated portion of Clark County, it is governed by the Clark County Commission. While outside of the Las Vegas, Nevada city limits, it contains most of the Las Vegas Strip, as well as McCarran International Airport. Therefore, many tourists visiting "Las Vegas" actually spend most of their time in Paradise. Clark County has resisted efforts by the City of Las Vegas to annex the Strip.
