The Guardian Angel Cathedral is a cathedral in Winchester, Nevada of the Roman Catholic Church. It is located at 302 Cathedral Way, just off the Las Vegas Strip, near the Encore Hotel. Since the creation in 1995 of the Diocese of Las Vegas, it has been the seat of the bishop, previously having been a parish of the Diocese of Reno.
The architect for the modernist basilica-style church was Los Angeles architect Paul Revere Williams.

And guardian angels sung the strain:
Rule, Britannia! Britannia rules the waves!
Britons never shall be slaves.”
