Things to Do in Paradise

Paradise, Nevada is located in an unincorporated community just south of Las Vegas, making it technically part of the Las Vegas metropolitan area despite having its own identity.

The town was named Paradise in the 1960s by a local developer who believed the area's warm climate and growth potential made it a paradise on earth.

Paradise sits at approximately 2,000 feet elevation in the Mojave Desert, contributing to its hot, dry summers and mild winters.

The Paradise area experienced devastating wildfires in recent years, including the 2020 Zoona Fire, which affected local communities and infrastructure.

Paradise is home to several major Las Vegas casino resorts and entertainment venues that technically fall within its boundaries, despite the unincorporated designation.
