North Las Vegas and Reno continue to battle for a spot as the third most populated city in Nevada, according to a new U.S. Census Bureau data. North Las Vegas was once a bootlegging settlement, and Reno in the northern part of the state was once known as “cow county,” but both cities have changed their image and economy over time — and size in recent years.

When Garrett Spence was in middle school, back in the early 2000s, he made the same appeal to his mom year after year at Christmas: Could she please, in her annual replenishment of his sock and underwear supply, just get him the really short socks?

Some view the Las Vegas Strip as a contradiction to the bone-dry Mojave Desert it’s situated in. Tourists at The Venetian take rides in a makeshift canal system built to resemble Venice, marvel at one of the largest fountain shows in the world at the Bellagio and cool off in dozens of pools that evaporate gallons of fluids in the oppressive heat.
Residents of Las Vegas feel neglected as the city focuses on attracting newcomers and tourists for major events, leading to rising housing costs, lower wages, and a decline in their quality of life.
