The goal of the Public Communications department is to provide accurate and complete information in a timely manner using all the resources at our disposal including the Internet, our own cable TV station (Channel 4), publications such as the Sandstone Online , and the mass media.
Whether you are a resident, a visitor or a member of the media, we can help you get the information you need about Clark County, where we pride ourselves on being open, accessible, responsive and accountable.
Clark County is a wonderfully diverse place, and Clark County government is organized and positioned to meet those myriad needs.
First, it provides urban services. In fact, more people live in urban Clark County than in any of Southern Nevadas cities, including the city of Las Vegas. Geographically, this area of the unincorporated county includes the world-famous Las Vegas Strip and takes in McCarran International Airport, the Las Vegas Convention Center, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and, of course, the neighborhoods where our residents live, work and play.
Second, it provides regional services for more than 1.8 million residents and 38 million tourists a year occupying an area (7,910 square miles) larger than New Jersey. Clark County government takes a leadership role in protecting the quality of our air through its Air Quality Management Division and water through the Las Vegas Valley Water District. The seven members of the Clark County Commission sit as the board of directors for each entity. The county also operates McCarran and other airports, the public hospital (University Medical Center), social services, community planning and the court system . Further, the county plays a key role in promoting tourism, transportation, public health and flood control. These areas are especially challenging since Clark County represents the fastest-growing community in the nation.
Third, it provides town services for unincorporated townships such as the gambling destination of Laughlin and for rural treasures such as Overton (home of the Lost City Museum), Goodsprings, Jean and Searchlight.
