The state-level rules are in the Nevada guide, which covers Rule 7.2A filing and the Rule 7.2(b) disclaimers. This page covers what is different about Las Vegas: a county of unincorporated towns, two main district court buildings, and justice courts organized by township.
Clark County is the search area
Clark County's town advisory board page lists the urban unincorporated towns as Enterprise, Paradise, Spring Valley, Sunrise Manor, Whitney, and Winchester, and says these boards help the County Commission supply public services to the unincorporated areas. A reader in Spring Valley may search "Las Vegas lawyer" while living outside the city.
That does not mean a page for every town. A town page earns its place only when it has something distinct to say, such as a different justice court. Otherwise one strong Clark County page that names the places you serve does more than a stack of near-copies.
Getting the court facts right
The Eighth Judicial District Court lists its locations as the Regional Justice Center, 200 Lewis Ave, the Family Court House, 601 North Pecos Rd, and the Phoenix Building, 330 S. 3rd St. Under NRS 3.0105, a district that includes a county of 100,000 or more has a family court as a division of the district court, and NRS 3.223 gives it original, exclusive jurisdiction over proceedings under the dissolution of marriage chapter, among others.
The Family Division says child support cases are heard at the Child Support Center of Southern Nevada, 1900 E. Flamingo Road, and tells parties to confirm a hearing's location before they go. Lower-level matters run through justice courts by township: Clark County lists the Las Vegas Township court at the Regional Justice Center and separate courts for Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, Mesquite, Laughlin, and others.
What differs from the rest of Nevada
The statewide filing and disclaimer rules apply everywhere, but the court map does not. A criminal defense page should say whether a charge is likely to start in a township justice court or in district court, and a divorce page should point to Pecos Road rather than Lewis Avenue. We verify court names and addresses against the court's and the county's own pages before they go on yours.

Common questions
Which courthouse should a Las Vegas family law page name?
The Eighth Judicial District Court lists the Family Court House at 601 North Pecos Rd, and its Family Division says child support cases are heard at 1900 E. Flamingo Road. Name the location that fits the reader's matter and tell them to confirm before a hearing.
Should a Las Vegas firm write pages for Henderson or Paradise?
Only if the page has something distinct to say, such as the justice court that covers that township. A page with nothing but a swapped place name adds little.
