Comment (by floscher):

 I investigated this a bit and found, that Nominatim is stumbling over `Las
 Vegas`, because the building is not inside the
 [https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/170117 OSM-border of the city Las
 Vegas], but rather inside the border of the unincorporated town
 [http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/170132 Enterprise].

 So all of the following strings are resolving correctly with Nominatim:
 * `7135 S Decatur Blvd, Enterprise, NV 89118`
 * `7135 S Decatur Blvd, NV 89118`
 * `7135 S Decatur Blvd, Clark County`
 * `7135 South Decatur Boulevard`
 * `7135 S Decatur Blvd`

 I see two ways of resolving the issue:
 Either Nominatim takes into account, that
 [http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/170132 Enterprise] has a tag saying
 `alt_name=Las Vegas` and that [http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/172739953
 the building] has a tag `addr:city=Las Vegas`.
 Or someone extends the border of Las Vegas in OSM-data, so it surrounds
 everything belonging to the city of Las Vegas.

 The latter solution should only be carried out by an OSM-user with
 experience in editing administrative boundaries and proper knowledge of
 the correct extent of the city of Las Vegas.
