Las Vegas, Nevada
Las Vegas, Nevada is the casino gambling capital of the world. Best known as Sin City, the streets are lined with casino-gambling resorts, nightlife, shopping, and world-class tourism. Las Vegas has the most glamorous image of any city.
Las Vegas started off as a small railroad town back in 1905. Then in 1931, casino gambling was legalized, followed by the completion of the Hoover Dam five years later.
Since then, there has been some really interesting news including the fires that destroyed several casinos such the ‘El Rancho’ in 1960 and the MGM Grand in 1980. The opening of the Mirage back in 1989 started the era of the ‘mega-resort’, inspiring other major casinos such as the Bellagio in 1993. In May 2005, the city celebrated it’s 100th birthday and coming up in 2007, Las Vegas will play home to the NBA All-Star Game.
