What It Is Like to Retire in Paradise

Paradise is an unincorporated town in Clark County, Nevada, that is adjacent to Las Vegas, and is actually the home of a large part of the Strip District, the University of Nevada, and McCarran International Airport. The city is located in the southern part of Las Vegas, and got its name in the early 1900’s due to its fertile land from a high water table that was good for farming. Paradise is governed by the Clark County Commission and the Paradise Town Advisory Board. Las Vegas' three major league sports teams are also located here which include the NHL Vegas Golden Knights, NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders, and the WNBA Las Vegas Aces. Those who visit Las Vegas most likely were in Paradise.
