Spring Valley is an unincorporated town and census-designated place in Clark County, Nevada, located 2 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip, and its population was 215,597 at the 2020 census.

Spring Valley was formed as an unincorporated town in May 1981 by the Clark County Commission, after residents petitioned to head off annexation by other Las Vegas Valley communities and because they felt they did not pay their taxes fairly for county services.

The community was named by developer Doug Pardee and sales manager Jack Whiteman in reference to its views of the Spring Mountains and its location in the Las Vegas Valley, and the town originally covered only 1 square mile but now occupies much of the southwest quarter of the Las Vegas Valley.

The census-designated place covers 33.4 square miles, all of it land, and its predominant boundaries are Sahara Avenue on the north, Decatur Boulevard on the east, Warm Springs Road on the south, and Hualapai Way on the west.

Spring Valley grew from 51,726 residents in 1990 to 117,390 in 2000, 178,395 in 2010, and 215,597 in 2020, an increase of 20.9 percent in the 2010s.

Spring Valley had 87,156 households according to the 2020-2024 American Community Survey estimate, with 2.51 persons per household.

The Stardust International Raceway was built in Spring Valley in 1965, and Pardee Homes bought the land in 1970 and began developing the master-planned housing community of Spring Valley.

Desert Breeze Park, a large park in the north-central part of the town, sits next to Roger M. Bryan Elementary School.

The strip malls along Spring Mountain Road from Valley View to Jones Boulevard form Las Vegas Chinatown, a primarily retail district of ethnic Chinese and other pan-Asian businesses rather than a residential enclave.

Chinatown Plaza, conceived by Taiwanese American James Chih-Cheng Chen and opened in February 1995 at Spring Mountain and Wynn, was called America's first master-planned Chinatown, and Governor Kenny Guinn officially designated the 3-mile district along Spring Mountain Road as Chinatown in October 1999.
