ZIP 89109: $389.3 million on 20,673 FEC receipts

A high-mean Nevada ZIP

$389,348,935 on 20,673 lines is a concentration pattern. Resort, casino, and event-address ZIPs often collect committee receipts, joint fundraising events, and individual itemizations on the same five digits. FEC.gov does not split those categories in this ZIP total. LobbyVault reports $389,348,935 and 20,673.

Twenty thousand six hundred seventy-three itemizations is a mid-size list. It is large enough to be more than a handful of transfers and small enough that a few large events still move the mean. The packet has no median and no unique-donor count.

This page does not treat $389,348,935 as a Strip “influence” score. The FEC field is a ZIP string on an itemized receipt. Motive language is out of scope.

Event addresses and the 89109 field

A joint fundraising committee that lists a Las Vegas hotel or a PAC that uses an 89109 mail drop will add to the total when that ZIP is filed. Individuals who live in the ZIP also add when their receipts are itemized. $389,348,935 follows the form, not a resident filter.

The 20,673-line count can include repeat itemizations from the same contributor. Without a donor headcount in the packet, this guide does not invent one.

Boundaries of $389,348,935

Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Nevada state-office filings are omitted. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a Nevada race. Cite $389,348,935 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 89109, from FEC.gov.

Event-heavy ZIPs can see lumpy amendments after a large weekend of fundraising. Recheck the ZIP 89109 FEC page after restatements rather than freezing this snapshot.

Refunds and redesignations can lower a ZIP after a spike. If $389,348,935 later falls, that is consistent with FEC accounting, not a data outage. Watch the ZIP 89109 hub rather than caching this guide’s printed total. 20,673 can fall with it when lines are deleted or recoded on amendment.

89109 beside 89145 and other codes

The all-ZIP directory ranks the same FEC series. Another Las Vegas-area code may appear nearby in dollar rank with a different line count. Compare 20,673 against that peer if you are studying filing shape. Do not convert the comparison into a claim about which ZIP is more politically active. FEC.gov does not measure activity that way.

Sorting the all-ZIP directory by $389,348,935 puts 89109 among other high-dollar codes. Sorting by 20,673 may move it. Publish which sort you used. A high-mean event ZIP will change neighbors when the sort key changes. That is expected. It is not a ranking error.

Where the filings live

The ZIP 89109 FEC page is the live table for $389,348,935 and 20,673. The all-ZIP directory ranks other codes. The donor directory lists names on itemized rows. If a later extract disagrees, the FEC.gov filing controls.

Internal links on this page go only to the ZIP 89109 hub, the all-ZIP directory, and the donor directory. Those are the packet’s hrefs. Do not treat this guide as a sitemap of every committee that received money from the Las Vegas Strip area. Recipient pages are a click away from named itemizations, not from this roll-up.

Keeping $389,348,935 attached to ZIP 89109

Every dollar figure on this guide is the same $389,348,935 from the packet. Every line count is the same 20,673. Derived means of about $18,830 are arithmetic from those two facts. No third FEC series is mixed in. State campaigns, unitemized gifts, and independent expenditures from other ZIPs stay out.

The Las Vegas Strip area is orientation for readers who know the mail code. It is not an extra fact from FEC.gov. The Commission’s field is 89109. LobbyVault indexes that field. If a later extract reprints $389,348,935 with a different 20,673, both printed numbers here are stale. Check the live hub.

LobbyVault’s job on ZIP 89109 is narrow: index $389,348,935 and 20,673 from FEC.gov and explain what those two numbers are not. They are not a unique-donor census of Las Vegas Strip area. They are not a party split. They are not an independent-expenditure total. They are not a state-campaign total. They are itemized federal receipts tagged to five digits. A mean of about $18,830 is arithmetic, not a typical gift. Joint fundraising and PAC addresses can be inside $389,348,935. Researchers who need committees follow itemizations on the ZIP 89109 hub. Researchers who need names use the donor directory. Researchers who need a later extract should ignore this paragraph and reload the hub.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 89109?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 89109 total $389,348,935 across 20,673 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of people who live in the Las Vegas Strip area. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $389,348,935 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 89109?

LobbyVault counts 20,673 itemized contributions for ZIP 89109. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 20,673 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $389,348,935.

Does ZIP 89109 include only residents of the Las Vegas Strip area?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses in the Las Vegas Strip area can be part of $389,348,935 when 89109 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 20,673-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 89109 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $389,348,935 and 20,673 lines for ZIP 89109. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from the Las Vegas Strip area are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $18,830 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
