The largest of Nevada's 79 recorded places, ranked by population — 2,692,501 people across the state's towns and cities.
The essentials
Las Vegas is the largest place we record in Nevada, with 641,903 residents. The three largest together hold 44% of the 2,692,501 people counted across the state's recorded towns and cities. That total sums listed places rather than measuring the state itself, so treat it as coverage, never as an official population.
All 79 places, ranked
Figures are the latest available in GeoNames (CC BY 4.0), which draws on national censuses of varying dates — treat them as recent, not same-year. Country totals are UN World Population Prospects 2024 (medium variant) where the UN lists the country separately; the handful it reports under a parent state keep a GeoNames figure and are marked as such.
