Audiences love over-the-top, in-your-face reality television. And if that reality is framed by the Las Vegas skyline, all the better. Starring government employees, small-business owners, crooks, cops and celebrities (or celebrities in waiting), here are the reality TV shows based in the entertainment capital of the world:

LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - A Las Vegas man jailed on charges of murdering his nephew killed his cellmate on Friday, stabbing him with a pencil during a fight in their cell, police said.

Fugitive worked at sports book for years. A Chicago man who disappeared 32 years ago and was declared legally dead has been found quite alive, working as a sports book writer at the Rampart in Summerlin for the past decade. Arthur Jones, 72, who was a commodities broker, was arrested and charged this week with felony false identity, identity theft and fraud, authorities said Friday.

Unless you enjoy deducing the meaning of a zoning-ordinance amendment or watching lobbyists prostrate themselves before elected officials to obtain development waivers, government meetings aren't all that interesting. But one moment of levity and one of pure frustration made last week's Clark County Commission meeting worth watching.Humor during a commission meeting? Oh, do tell.Commissioners issued a proclamation ? politicians hand them out like candy, but this one truly hit the mark ? to a young man who finished fifth in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in June.

More than two years have passed since Clark County's Business License Department set out to save money and make it easier for people to find jobs by reducing work-card requirements for several employment categories.Did that ever happen?Yes, but first let's review relevant work-card history: This is an old-school regulation that has been debated since at least the 1970s.

¶Few would argue that trash pickup, paved streets, law enforcement, mail delivery and schools are not fitting ways to spend tax dollars. But for every project that is widely praised, like Hoover Dam, flood control channels, McCarran International Airport or Las Vegas Beltway, there is a government project that divides public opinion. ¶ In many cases, it's not that the project was a bad idea, it's simply that the circumstances ? drought, recession, growth or the lack thereof ? that justified the spending changed. ¶ Here are a few projects that have and will be debated as public spending the way it should happen, or spending gone terribly wrong.

¶When public servants in Nevada get arrested for driving under the influence, some lose their jobs while others keep theirs. Some elected officials can survive having a DUI on their record, while others are turned out by voters. ¶ The common thread in cases involving elected officials and government employees is the humiliation they suffer when their names and indiscretions, and often their mug shots, appear in the media. It's a lesson inebriated Henderson City Attorney Elizabeth Quillin learned following the recent incident in which she allegedly drove off the road and struck a fire hydrant, a large boulder, a parked car and two trees. She's far from alone, as the following examples show:

A suicide at the Clark County Detention Center in 2009 is rekindling accusations that the downtown facility run by Metro Police is doing a poor job addressing mental health needs, an issue that prompted a Justice Department investigation of the facility a decade ago. In a federal lawsuit, Las Vegas attorney Cal Potter III alleged on behalf of plaintiff Amanda Lou Cavalieri that the suicide of her husband, Michael Anthony Cavalieri, could have been prevented had the jail better screened and observed him.

You can tell Clark County's mental health court sessions on Thursday afternoons are informal because the judge stands behind a lectern in street clothes, and there isn't a phalanx of high-priced attorneys to be found.
