ABOUT WHITNEY...

In the Las Vegas metropolitan area, governance is divided between incorporated cities and unincorporated townships. Incorporated cities, such as Las Vegas and Henderson, operate under their own municipal governments, while unincorporated townships like Whitney are governed by Clark County. Despite being a separate jurisdiction, mailing addresses in Whitney often use "Las Vegas" due to USPS conventions. This practice ensures postal efficiency and reflects the broader regional identity rather than strict municipal boundaries.
