The Freehold DistrictsThe Freehold of Las Vegas is divided into five official jurisdictions. Each jurisdiction is recognized as the territory of a court, under its recognized sovereign. The sovereign can deign to award stewardship of their holdings to those under a knight's oath, though records of these territories are colloquial and private to each respective court. Indeed, a knight may hold a smattering of small hotspots rather than a proper bordered collection of neighbourhoods to call a fiefdom. Courtiers are expected, but not forced to live within these holdings for the sake of the protections it provides. Swearing fealty under a knight under the Court Oath, and residing in their zones of power, can provide supernatural boons when performing acts of service, or the Wyrd shielding from the myriad of dangers that lurk.

All four Courts have designated territories that they claim as their own in the Freehold of Las Vegas. Paradise: The Autumn CourtParadise is an unincorporated town adjacent to the city of Las Vegas. The population was 231,858 as of 2017, making it the most populous CDP in the United States. Paradise contains McCarran International Airport; the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV); and most of the Las Vegas Strip. Paradise contains most tourist attractions in the Las Vegas area, excluding downtown. Despite this, the name Paradise remains relatively unknown because all of the ZIP Codes serving Paradise are assigned the default place name "Las Vegas".  |

Spring Valley: The Spring CourtSpring Valley is located 2 miles (3 km) west of the Las Vegas Strip. The population was 178,395 at the 2010 census. The area mostly consists of housing subdivisions, with strip malls lining the large boulevards that connect suburban Las Vegas to the Strip. The northern part of Spring Valley includes areas of rural-estate zoning, with large parcels of land. The southern part of Spring Valley is quickly developing. A large park, Desert Breeze Park, is located in the north-central part of the town. The Asian population of Las Vegas continues to grow after the Governor officially designated Chinatown along Spring Mountain Road.

Summerlin: The Summer CourtSummerlin is a suburban master-planned community in the Las Vegas Valley of Southern Nevada. It lies at the edge of the Spring Mountains and Red Rock Canyon to the west. At the time of the 2010 census, Summerlin's population was nearly 100,000, having risen from 59,000 residents in the year 2000. Summerlin is also one of the most affluent communities in Nevada. When people move to Vegas with their families and want to replicate familiar suburban life, they often head to this community. Summerlin is the place where many of the city’s biggest names call home, and it’s also where average families send their kids to school, do their shopping and spend time at the park on the weekends. Red Rock Resort and JW Marriott (with the attached Rampart Casino) are both top-notch hotel-casinos. Downtown Summerlin is a massive shopping and dining complex that also houses the Las Vegas Ballpark (home of the minor-league Las Vegas Aviators) and the practice facility for the Vegas Golden Knights. Red Rock Canyon is just a short drive from the edge of Summerlin.

Whitney: The Winter CourtWhitney (formerly East Las Vegas) has a recorded population of 38,585 as of the 2010 census. In the early 1990s, the outward growth of development in Las Vegas and Henderson, as well as the construction of the Interstate 515 bypass of Whitney, had a negative impact on businesses in the area. It wasn't until the early 2000s that business began to recover. The area has seen several new housing developments on vacant land. Despite this, a large chunk of the population still lives below the poverty line and have a resulting crime rate that is 191% higher than the national average. In the area around the Boulder Highway, many of the extended stay hotels are situated. As a result, people looking to move to Las Vegas might think that it is worthwhile to stay in one of these cheap hotels while searching for a new home.

Open TerritoriesThe Las Vegas StripThe Las Vegas Strip is a stretch of South Las Vegas Boulevard in Clark County, Nevada that is known for its concentration of resort hotels and casinos. The Strip is approximately 4.2 miles (6.8 km) in length, located immediately south of the Las Vegas city limits in the unincorporated towns of Paradise and Winchester. However, the Strip is often referred to as being in Las Vegas. The Freehold has come to a collective agreement that the Lost will NOT be permitted to operate out of the Strip, due to the potent risk of drawing attention to the community. There is an unspoken risk of civil war that could result in the clash for its resources. That being said, the Lost are freely permitted to glut themselves of the fonts of emotions that saturate the neon streets of Sin City.

Naked CityNaked City is a neighborhood located at the northern end of the Las Vegas Strip, near the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sahara Avenue. The most prominent development in the neighborhood is the Stratosphere Las Vegas hotel and tower. Upon its opening in 1996, it was hoped its presence would spur improvements in the area. In May 2018, the apartment complexes in Naked City were renovated in an effort to reduce crime. Cabs won’t go there at night, and it’s generally considered to be one of the roughest parts of Las Vegas.
