The Las Vegas media market anchors Clark County, home to roughly 75% of Nevada's voters, where rapid in-migration and a large hospitality workforce produce unusually high voter-roll churn and make traditional likely-voter screens difficult to calibrate.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 92.5 points in 1896 and a Republican high of 30.1 points in 1980. Between 2020 and 2024 the market moved 6.6 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 1.3 points.
A population of 2,388,297, a 39% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $76,106 describe the market. The market's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Los Angeles and Sacramento-Stockton-Modesto.

Political twins — media markets
The media markets whose fingerprint — 2000–2024 trajectory, demographics, ancestry, religion — sits closest to this one, and why.
Twin score (0–100) = weighted cosine between tier-standardized fingerprints: presidential margins 2000–2024 with 12-yr trend and elasticity, ACS income, age, education, population and race, top reported ancestries, and religious adherence — chips name the closest-shared dimensions and the widest gap.
