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. On November 7, former Congresswoman Shelley Berkley became the mayor-elect of Las Vegas as Las Vegas City Councilwoman Victoria Seaman conceded the race. Berkley was sworn in on December 4, 2024.
