KYMT (93.1 MHz, 93.1 The Mountain) is a commercial FM radio station in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is owned by iHeartMedia and it airs an adult hits radio format. KYMT's studios and offices are on Meade Avenue in Las Vegas, a mile west of the Strip. Its transmitter is on Potosi Mountain southwest of the Las Vegas Valley.

KYMT broadcasts in HD. On its HD2 channel, it airs an urban contemporary format, known as "Real 103.9" which is also heard on a 250 watt FM translator station K280DD at 103.9 MHz. From its high perch, the station's 24,000 watt signal can be heard over much of Southern Nevada and into California.

In 1980, the station first signed on as KUDO, owned by the Quality Broadcasting Company, airing an adult contemporary format. From 1984-1986 it shifted to Hot AC music and was known as "Music 93". KUDO lasted for seven years until 1987 when the station switched to a new-age/smooth jazz sound as KEYV ("The Key"). The smooth jazz format remained until early 1992.

In February 1992, The Key changed its format to adult album alternative or "AAA" - keeping "The Key 93.1" as its moniker. Before KXPT 97.1 signed on in 1993 with "Triple A", KEYV played artists as diverse as the Cowboy Junkies and Michelle Shocked. This eclectic format was on the air for about 10 months, when a country music format began as "Y93 (Young Country)," signing on in late 1992. Y93 was one three country radio stations heard in the Las Vegas area. Y93 lasted from 1992-1996. The station then switched to oldies in mid-May 1996, first as "Big Oldies" KBGO and then "Kool 93.1" KQOL-FM in 1998. The station continued airing an oldies format as "Kool 93.1" until August 2006.
