Direct answer
Identify whether the record belongs to a City of Las Vegas department, use the city request route for city-held files, and move to Clark County or another custodian when the record is outside city custody.
City of Las Vegas custody is narrower than the Las Vegas place name
A Las Vegas search can refer to the city, Clark County, a court or a Nevada state agency. The City of Las Vegas request route covers city-held files rather than every public record associated with the metro area.
Use the City of Las Vegas department structure to decide whether city government created or maintains the target. If the record belongs to Clark County or another public body, change custodians instead of submitting a city request.
Keep “City of Las Vegas” in the source trail when the file is municipal. That label prevents a city response from being interpreted as a countywide or statewide search.
