An outbreak in Vegas would be more a case of tourists infecting each other than the residents of the town getting sick.

And if you've caught something in Vegas and spread the disease across your hometown, you're probably not going to admit it. This virus is no exception.

There's no evidence to suggest that the government would intentionally lie about numbers, let alone in Las Vegas. If anything, it's likely due to ignorance and lack of resources in testing.
It's not about the government lying. It's about individuals visiting vegas, leaving after a few days, coming back and then having to come clean that they were feeling a little under the weather when they got on the plane (which could arguably be manslaughter depending on the exact circumstances).
What you’re saying is true for all major cities in the country.
