[5] Las Vegas entered into a skyscraper-building boom in the late 1990s that has continued to the present; of the city's 40 tallest skyscrapers, 39 were completed after 1997.
The tallest building approved for the city is the World Jewelry Center, which is planned for construction in Downtown Las Vegas.
This list ranks completed and topped out skyscrapers in Las Vegas that stand at least 400 feet (122 m) tall, based on standard height measurement.
The United States Postal Service uses "Las Vegas, NV" as the official mailing address for the unincorporated places of Paradise, Winchester, and Spring Valley,[10] and as such the distinction between the city and the surrounding communities is often not apparent.
The Strat observation tower has been the tallest free-standing structure in the city since its 1996 completion,[2] but since it is not a fully habitable building it is not included in this list.
