Government
Downtown serves as a main center for government services in the Las Vegas Valley. The governments of the City of Las Vegas and Clark County are located here as well as the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and several courts.
Some former government buildings have been turned into attractions, such as the old Las Vegas Post Office and Courthouse becoming the Mob Museum.
