Often referred to as the "adult playground," the city has transformed from a humble railroad station in the mid-19th century into one of the world's most visited tourist attractions. The history of Las Vegas is marked by glamour, glitz, and, of course, gambling. The origin of Las Vegas can be traced back to the mid-19th century when the city was a modest trading post. The pivotal turning point came in 1931 when the state of Nevada legalized gambling, ushering in an era of growth and innovation. The first casinos, such as El Rancho Vegas, opened their doors, laying the foundation for the famous Las Vegas Strip. The Strip, a 6.8-kilometer stretch, is the epicenter of gambling and entertainment. Casinos along the Strip compete not only for the favor of players but also for the most innovative gaming concepts and breathtaking shows.

Yet, Las Vegas is more than just glitz and glamour. The city has its own soul, shaped by a fascinating blend of cultures and people. The residents, affectionately called "Las Vegans," contribute to making the city not only a place of pleasure but also a community. The magic of Las Vegas also lies in the diversity of its visitors. People from all corners of the world flock to the city to experience the unparalleled feeling of freedom, fun, and adventure. The casinos are a melting pot of cultures, a place where people of different backgrounds and lifestyles come together to succumb to the thrill of gambling. A captivating aspect of Las Vegas is its ability to constantly reinvent itself. The city, once known for its classic casinos, has evolved into a place where innovation and creativity flow. The introduction of themed hotels, breathtaking shows, and extravagant events has turned Las Vegas into a perpetually changing phenomenon. However, amidst all the glitter and glamour, it's crucial to emphasize that Las Vegas is not solely defined by gambling. The city offers a rich cultural scene, from top-notch museums and galleries to renowned restaurants serving international cuisine. Las Vegas has become a destination that caters to every taste and interest. Viva Las Vegas – not just a song title but also the guiding principle of this fascinating city.

Download or read book Performing Dream Homes written by Emily Klein and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology explores how theatre and performance use home as the prism through which we reconcile shifts in national, cultural, and personal identity. Whether examining parlor dramas and kitchen sink realism, site-specific theatre, travelling tent shows, domestic labor, border performances, fences, or front yards, these essays demonstrate how dreams of home are enmeshed with notions of neighborhood, community, politics, and memory. Recognizing the family home as a symbolic space that extends far beyond its walls, the nine contributors to this collection study diverse English-language performances from the US, Ireland, and Canada. These scholars of theatre history, dramaturgy, performance, cultural studies, feminist and gender studies, and critical race studies also consider the value of home at a time increasingly defined by crises of homelessness — a moment when major cities face affordable housing shortages, when debates about homeland and citizenship have dominated international elections, and when conflicts and natural disasters have displaced millions. Global struggles over immigration, sanctuary, refugee status and migrant labor make the stakes of home and homelessness ever more urgent and visible, as this timely collection reveals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plagued with nightmares of a goblin child tormented by monsters—and with her usual cures having no effect—dream faerie Pryseis journeys to the Shadowlands to heal the child in person even though doing so risks the wrath of the faerie council. And, if she’s away from home too long, her very existence. Caught and imprisoned by an ungrateful goblin sorcerer, she’s now trapped underground, chained, her despair growing as her time ticks down yet warmed by the memory of a man she has only touched in dreams. Benilo ta Myran drained his spirit healing powers during the war, but he has no choice. The beautiful faerie in his dreams is in trouble, and not even his worried king and queen can stop him from trying to save her before the darkness snuffs out her light. Finally they are together—chained side-by-side in a goblin dungeon. Their only hope for escape is to break the law to merge their powers in a ritual so intensely erotic it binds them for life. However short and nightmarish that life might be… Warning: Beware beautiful faeries and hot elves appearing in your dreams. They may lead you astray…and steal your heart.
