Paradise is an unincorporated community that encompasses the Las Vegas Strip, McCarran International Airport, and the University of Nevada Las Vegas — making it technically the most visited place in the United States. The 2017 Route 91 Harvest festival mass shooting demonstrated the unique emergency management challenges of large outdoor mass gatherings in this dense entertainment corridor. Flash flooding and extreme heat add natural hazard layers.
