In A Short History of Las Vegas, Barbara and Myrick Land reveal a fascinating history beyond the mobsters, casinos, and showgirls. The authors present a complete story, beginning with southern Nevada’s indigenous peoples and the earliest explorers to the first pioneers to settle in the area; from the importance of the railroad and the construction of Hoover Dam to the arrival of the Mob after World War II; from the first isolated resorts to appear in the dusty desert to the upscale, extravagant theme resorts of today. Las Vegas—and its history—is full of surprises. The second edition of this lively history includes details of the latest developments and describes the growing anticipation surrounding the Las Vegas centennial celebration in 2005. New chapters focus on the recent implosions of famous old structures and the construction of glamorous new developments, headline-making mergers and multibillion-dollar deals involving famous Strip properties, and a concluding look at what life is like for the nearly two million residents who call Las Vegas home.

Download or read book Las Vegas written by Eugene P. Moehring and published by University of Nevada Press. This book was released on 2005-03-16 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The meteoric rise of Las Vegas from a remote Mormon outpost to an international entertainment center was never a sure thing. In its first decades, the town languished, but when Nevada legalized casino gambling in 1931, Las Vegas met its destiny. This act—combined with the growing popularity of the automobile, cheap land and electricity, and changing national attitudes toward gambling—led to the fantastic casinos and opulent resorts that became the trademark industry of the city and created the ambiance that has made Las Vegas an icon of pleasure. This volume celebrates the city’s unparalleled growth, examining both the development of its gaming industry and the creation of an urban complex that over two million people proudly call home. Here are the colorful characters who shaped the city as well as the political, business, and civic decisions that influenced its growth. The story extends chronologically from the first Paiute people to the construction of the latest megaresorts, and geographically far beyond the original township to include the several municipalities that make up today’s vast metropolitan Las Vegas area.

Download or read book Under the Cottonwoods written by and published by . This book was released on 2017-06-10 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a stunning collection of historical and modern photographs, "Under the Cottonwoods" celebrates Las Vegas' humble beginnings, including the people, places and events that have inspired and shaped the city's history. Las Vegas began on the banks of the Las Vegas Creek, a perennial stream fed by three artesian springs. The flow from these springs sustained Las Vegas' first inhabitants and gave birth to a world-renowned city. From early ranches and the railroad to the beginning of the resort industry, the Las Vegas Springs supported a thriving community. The springs flow stopped in 1962 due to the growing population and increased use. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978, the 180-acre Springs Preserve is known as the birth place of Las Vegas and represents one of the richest and most unique cultural and biological resources in Southern Nevada. "Under the Cottonwoods" explores the dynamic role this area has played in Las Vegas history.
