You know, the mayor of Las vegas is largely a ceremonial position. No real power. Ribbon cuttings and things like that. The real government is the Clark County Commissioners, of which the Chairman is the real power broker. I think the Mayor does gavel the county commission meeting to order, but again that is just ceremonious. I don't even believe the mayor gets a vote on any issues.
