“In 1865 the Las Vegas area was Pah-Ute County, Arizona Territory. Congress transferred the land west of the Colorado River to Nevada in 1866, but Nevada’s constitution wasn’t amended to match until voters approved Question 5 in 1982, after a 1968 court challenge claimed Clark County wasn’t legally part of Nevada.
