Nevada is the seventh generally broad, the 32nd-generally crowded, and the ninth least thickly populated of the U.S. states. Nearly 3/4 of Nevada’s kin live in Clark County, which contains the Las Vegas-Paradise metropolitan area, including three of the state’s four largest incorporated urban communities. Nevada’s capital is Carson City while the largest city is Las Vegas.
