also, i would be remiss if i didn't point out that post office delivery addressing is only vaguely related to the actual administrative boundaries; the addressing situation for Enterprise is hardly unique, in fact situations like this are probably the norm. and i bet if you checked with the post office you might find out that they will deliver to both Las Vegas and to Enterprise. it's not uncommon for the USPS to recognize place names that have otherwise been consumed in urban sprawl. richard
