The 1991 Las Vegas mayoral election took place on May 7, 1991[1] to elect the mayorofLas Vegas, Nevada. The election was held concurrently with various other local elections, and was officially nonpartisan. It saw the election of Jan Laverty Jones. With Jones winning a majority in the initial round of the election, no runoff was needed.

Jones' election as mayor made her the first woman ever to serve in any capacity on the Las Vegas City Council.[2]

Jones was seen as having won, in part, due to strong support from female voters and strong support from trade unions.[2]
