very diverse city, about 60% white, 20% asian, 10% black, 10% latino, but Las Vegas is very segregated city, and the showing business,gambling, hotels are controlled by white, you rarely see ads models from other races but white. They only need asian gamblers spending money there.

it's not very diverse. i've lived here off and on since the mid 90s. it's mostly white. i'd say 70% 15% latino, 10% black, 4% asian and 1% other. if you drive through specific neighborhoods you'll see more of a specific race. obviously chinatown or anywhere on spring mtn will have lots of asians, bonanza/eastern has lots of latinos and h&owens have a lot of black folks. white people are everywhere else.
in the early mid 90s i was about 15 years old and had one encounter with someone who might have been a white supremacist... but since then, everything's been okay. i think with the whole immigration controversy, lots of hispanics are catching more crap.
EDIT:
erica- you are a dumb broad. you're tellling me that you're a minority here in vegas? that there are more latinos here in vegas than there are white people? i suggest you search "las vegas demographics." educate yourself more before you run your mouth. i've been working in the social services field in lv for a while now, in grad school and studying about race, gender and class. i'm from the bay area and places like san francisco and berkeley are considered diverse. las vegas is not. open your eyes. while in a restaurant count and see how many people of color are in there. it is so very easy for a white person to go about their day and not see race. for someone who has encountered racism, i am always looking for that one minority so that i don't feel alone. you have no idea.
