The 3rd Congressional District of Nevada is a congressional district occupying the suburbs of Las Vegas, including Henderson, parts of North Las Vegas and Summerlin, and much of unincorporated Clark County. The district was created after the 2000 census and was drawn so as to balance registered Republicans and registered Democrats, though it has since gained a modest Democratic advantage in registration. It is currently represented by Republican Joe Heck.
