Yes, it's a real place. And just like that.

On the radio this morning I heard that the town of Pahrump, Nevada, where this last two-part Studio 60 episode was set, has passed a law that foreign countries' flags may be flown only underneath U.S. flags. The law was passed in response to protest rallies in support of illegal immigrants.

Pahrump is actually pretty famous, as tiny towns in Nevada go, because (1) it's near the USAF's secret testing bases, hence of interest to UFO buffs, and (2) Art Bell does his paranormal/weird science radio show from his trailer in Pahrump.
