Executive Summary
Clark County NV is a complex government organization for which an
identity and access management (IAM) strategy will have major
operation and strategic value.
IAM is about giving the right people the right access (to systems) at
the right time for the right reasons.
We have started, in earnest, building a foundation of understanding
why an IAM program is necessary and how it will benefit County
employees and the citizens of Clark County.
We have engaged some expertise to help us build our foundation.
Clark County
Clark County is the 12th most populous county in the
United States.
The county is 8,000 square miles in area.
We have a population of 2.1 million residents.
We average about 39 million visitors annually.
Clark County
The population of the City of Las Vegas is about 600,000; the
population of unincorporated Clark County is about 800,000.
There are 38 departments in Clark County; we provide
traditional county services like property tax assessment and
official document recording (marriage licenses, deeds, etc.),
but also municipal services such as parks and rec, building
permits and business licensing.
IT is decentralized in Clark County. A few agencies -- the
county hospital, airport and county sheriff's office have their
own CIOs. About 6 smaller departments have a handful of IT
employees that report to their departments.

Little known fact: The Las Vegas Strip is actually in
unincorporated Clark County, not in the city limits of the
City of Las Vegas.
