Las Vegas has a lot of very relaxed laws (besides gambling) that include other common legal vices, such as "the oldest profession", and relaxed business laws that make it a popular home (empty offices) for some questionable businesses. Remailing services are popular for "shady outfits" and "fly-by-night" companies, so there are a lot more remailing services located there.

The purpose of a remailing service is that it gives you a "normal" address that can be used to receive packages and mail that cannot be shipped to a Post Office Box (P.O. address). Then they repackage your mail and ship it to you anywhere in the world. Or, in the case of amazon, it makes you look to them like you live in the USA.
