Paradise in Clark County, Nevada is similar to this. It is an unincorporated piece of land that is roughly the same as the famous "Strip", not actually part of the City of Las Vegas. Municipal taxes are paid only to the county, and municipal services are provided by the county and a consortium of the casino/hotel owners. The city is very unhappy about this, but neither the county or state governments respond positively to their many petitions for annexation.
