pnwguy2, I don’t think the topic of this thread is about population. And no St Louis suburb has a higher population than the city of St Louis. The same is true with practically all major cities. (A rare exception that comes to mind is San Jose, which is more populated than San Francisco.) But population alone certainly doesn’t make San Jose “outshine” San Francisco. I really can’t think of any examples that truly match the OP’s premise.
Are you implying that San Jose is an example of a suburb that's bigger than the principal city in a metro?
San Jose is a principal city and anchors is own metro.
It is the most populated city in the 6 dozen MSAs that make up the CSA though so I get your point there
To me to "shine" means to be well-known and in the limelight. That doesn't describe Clark County, nor is Clark County a city, which was the thread premise. Neither is Paradise for that matter.
Actually Clark County is the municipality for much of Clark County and has the highest population of those. It provides all of the services of a municipality to unincorporated Clark County. It also has the role of the County authority over all of Clark County. Some even assert it is more powerful than the state government but that is likely an overstatement.
And the only power of the towns of Clark County is to make recommendations to the Clark County Commissioners. They have no direct legislative role.
So overall the situation is so different from the norm that the question is not relevant to Las Vegas.
Metairie in no way shape or form outshines one of the most well known cities in the country.
Jefferson Parish now has a larger population than New Orleanc city-ploper. So does Wichita, Bakersfield and Tulas. Every city metro "outshines" its historic district, or doesn;t, depending your meaning of "outshine".
I wonder if St Paul outshines Minneapolis these days? So much negativity comes out of Minneapolis anymore, I would not be surprised to hear that St Paul outshines Minneapolis by quite a bit.

Bellevue > Seattle no, outside of the PNW, most people don't know Bellevue.
St. Petersburg > Tampa no...
Arlington > DC DEFINITELY NO, over the nation's capital And I lived in Arlington
Hollywood/Beverly Hills > LA
All are debatable, of course.

VA Beach is the first city listed in the Tidewater MSA, but Norfolk clearly outshines it.
