Paradise Personal Injury & Criminal Defense Lawyer — Home of the Las Vegas Strip

Here's what surprises most visitors — and plenty of locals: the Las Vegas Strip isn't in Las Vegas. Nearly all of it sits in Paradise, an unincorporated town of 191,238 people that also contains Harry Reid International Airport, UNLV, and the convention corridor. There's no Paradise city hall and no mayor — the Clark County Commission governs the town directly, with input from a Town Advisory Board. Thomas Boley's office sits on Maryland Parkway, the same north–south arterial that runs through the heart of Paradise past Sunrise Hospital and UNLV, roughly four miles from the Flamingo corridor.

The injury numbers here are unlike anywhere else in Nevada. Before Clark County began building the Strip's elevated pedestrian bridges in the 1990s, NDOT counted more than a dozen deaths and hundreds of serious injuries in just five years at the Flamingo, Tropicana, and Spring Mountain crossings of Las Vegas Boulevard. The Tropicana–Las Vegas Boulevard bridges still carry roughly 130,000 pedestrians a day. Countywide, pedestrian deaths jumped from 55 in 2022 to 82 in 2023, and Harry Reid Airport's record 58.4 million passengers in 2024 keep rideshares, taxis, and shuttles pouring onto Tropicana Avenue and Paradise Road around the clock.

Because Paradise is unincorporated, there is no Paradise city court and no city police force. LVMPD patrols the town — the Strip corridor falls under its Convention Center Area Command — and anyone arrested here is booked into the Clark County Detention Center at 330 S. Casino Center Blvd. downtown. Misdemeanors, traffic cases, and felony preliminary hearings go to Las Vegas Justice Court at the Regional Justice Center, 200 Lewis Ave., with felonies binding over to the Eighth Judicial District Court. Thomas works these courtrooms constantly, and his Maryland Parkway office is a short drive from both the jail and the courthouse.
