Why Vegas?
Vegas, the city of Sin
The history of Las Vegas as a city starts when it was officially founded in 1905, but its story begins long before that. Thousands of years ago, the Nevada desert was home to Native American tribes. And throughout the 19th century, Mexican, Spanish, and American pioneers explored and sometimes settled in the region.
Then, at the dawn of the 20th century, a railroad linked Las Vegas with the rest of the country. However, the spark that transformed the city into the “Entertainment Capital of the World” was the legalization of gambling in Nevada in 1931.
By the 1940s, Mob money had made its way to Vegas. Casinos backed by gangsters like Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel provided both an additional stream of income and an easy way to launder ill-gotten gains.
Las Vegas was eventually bought out by mega-corporations, which razed the vintage hotels and built sprawling resorts in their place. Today, “Sin City” attracts some 40 million tourists each year — and its popularity only continues to grow.
