Downtown Is The City Of Las Vegas. The Strip Is Not.
Downtown sits inside the City of Las Vegas, on the ground where the city began with a land auction in 1905. Most of the Strip sits in Paradise and Winchester, unincorporated towns run by Clark County.
Both addresses read Las Vegas, NV. Google tells them apart from your pages, your listings and your schema, so those 3 have to agree.
