The 2024 Las Vegas mayoral election took place on June 11, 2024, with a runoff scheduled for November 5 because no candidate surpassed 50% of the vote in the first round. It will elect the mayor of Las Vegas, Nevada. Incumbent independent mayor Carolyn Goodman is term-limited and cannot seek re-election to a fourth term in office. This is the first mayoral election in Las Vegas since 1995 where no candidates are from the Goodman family.
