Does keyword phrase order still matter?

Since penguin is targeting over optimized sites I'm wondering if the order of your keywords for local SEO still matters? For example:

SEO company las vegas
las vegas SEO company

Should one page be optimized for both these keywords? Or should each keyword have it's own page?

    For every page we can target a maximum of 2 to 3 keywords or keyword phrase.

      This is what I've done in the past but was wondering if since the penguin release if having two pages with similar keywords is bad. For example if you have one page for seo company las vegas and another page for las vegas seo company then would that be over optimizing?

      I have a home page with general content about my company and it's optimized for SEO City Name.

      Then on an internal page I have a full article about SEO and not sure what keywords to focus on for that page. Should I optimize it for city name SEO?

        The key for doing all variations is having unique content but essentially if you can cover them all then you can crush the long tail.
        My launch tomorrow is for a plugin that does exactly that and our testing has shown loads of top ten rankings without backlinks.

          So are you talking about covering them all on the same page or writing a unique page for each keyword? If you have 100 long tail keywords it wouldn't be feasible because all 100 pages would have roughly the same content. Then again if you have one page with 100 long tail keywords that wouldn't be good either. How to most handle this?

    In titles, it still matter... Because important keywords are supposed to be in first 7 words of the title. In your case, I don't think they will impact considerable.
