Tourists don't explore the "ordinary" places of Las Vegas -- places that Las Vegas shares with other U.S. cities -- but geographers do! The Hispanic population is concentrated on the northeast side (16 percent of Las Vegas city); more in the separate city of North Las Vegas city (22 percent). In metropolitan Las Vegas, Hispanics account for 11 percent.
