This Las Vegas history includes the cities of Las Vegas, Nevada and Las Vegas Valley.
The name Las Vegas was given to the area in 1821 by Rafael Rivera, member of the trading party Antonio Armijo who traveled to Los Angeles, and stopped for water there on the Old Spanish Trail from New Mexico. At that time, several parts of the valley contained artesian wells surrounded by large green areas; Las Vegas means grassland in Spain. The current from the well feeds the Las Vegas Wash, which flows into the Colorado River.
Urbanization began in 1902, when a railroad connecting Los Angeles and Salt Lake City attracted many farmers into the area, and clean water flowed into the settlements. In 1911, the city was included as part of Clark County. In 1931 work began in Boulder Dam (now Hoover Dam), carrying a large wave of young male workers, for whom theater and casino were built, mostly by the Mafia. Electricity from the dam also allows the construction of many new hotels along the Gaza Strip. The arrival of Howard Hughes in 1966 did a lot to offset the influence of the masses, and helped transform Las Vegas into more of a family tourist center, now classified as Megaresort.

Prehistoric
The prehistoric landscape of the Las Vegas Valley and much of southern Nevada used to be a swamp with water and vegetation. The rivers that created the marsh finally descended underground, and the marshland receded. The valley then evolved into a dry and dry landscape that only supports the hardest animals and plants.
At some point in the early geological history of the valley, water reappears and flows into what is now the Colorado River. It creates luxurious plant life, forming a wetland oasis in the Mojave Desert landscape.
Evidence of prehistoric life in the Las Vegas Valley was discovered in 1993, when a group of construction workers discovered the remains of a Columbus mamut. Palaeontologists estimate that mammoths explored an area of ​​about 8,000 to 15,000 years ago.
Native Americans live in the Las Vegas Valley, beginning more than 10,000 years ago. Archaeologists have found baskets, petroglyphs, pictographs and other evidence at various locations, including Gypsum Cave and Tule Springs. Paiutes moved into the area in the early 700 AD, migrating among the nearby mountains in the summer and spending the winter in the valley, near Big Springs.

1829-1905: origins
A 60-person trade caravan led by Mexican merchant Antonio Armijo was tasked with building a trading route to Los Angeles. Las Vegas is named by the Mexicans in Antonio Armijo's party. By following the Pike and Smith route through the Colorado River tributaries, they arrive at the Las Vegas Valley, described by Smith as the best point to supply back before going to California. The travelers call the "Las Vegas" area which is Spanish for "The Meadows".
John C. Frà © m mont traveled to the Las Vegas Valley on May 3, 1844, while it was still part of Mexico. He was appointed by President John Tyler to lead a group of scientists, scouts, and spies for the United States Army Engineer Corps who were preparing for a possible war with Mexico. Upon arriving in the valley, they camped in Las Vegas Springs, setting up a secret fortress there. The war with Mexico did happen, which resulted in the region becoming the territory of the United States. The fort was used in later years by travelers, mountain men, hunters, and merchants seeking refuge, but never permanently inhabited.
In 1855, William Bringhurst led a group of 29 Mormon missionaries from Utah to the Las Vegas Valley. The missionaries built a 150-square-foot adobe fortress near the river and used flood irrigation to water their plants, a process still used in the park. However, due to the growing tension between Mormon small community leaders, summer and harvest trouble, the missionaries returned to Utah in 1857, leaving the fort.
Over the next few years the area remained unoccupied by Americans except for travelers and merchants. Then the US Army, in an attempt to deceive the active Confederate spies in southern California in 1864, wrongly published that they recaptured the fort and named it Fort Baker, briefly recalling the area for national attention. After the end of the war in 1865, Octavius ​​Gass, with a commission from the federal government, re-occupied the fortress. The Paiute state has declined in number and negotiated a new treaty with the United States, handing over areas around the fort to the United States in exchange for relocation and supply of food and agricultural equipment. As a result, Gass started irrigating old fields and renamed the Las Vegas Rancho area. Gass makes wine on his ranch and Las Vegas is known as the best stop on the Old Spanish Trail. In 1881, due to mismanagement and intrigue with the Mormon syndicate, Gass lost his farm to Archibald Stewart to pay off Stewart's liens on the property. In 1884, Archibald's wife, Helen J. Stewart became Las Vegas Postmaster.
The property (increased to 1,800 hectares (730 ha)), stayed with the family (despite the killing of Archibald Stewart in July 1884) until it was purchased in 1902 by San Pedro, Los Angeles and the Salt Lake Railroad, then built in southern Nevada. The train is the Montana Senator project of William Andrews Clark. Clark enlisted US Senator and mining magnate Thomas Kearns to ensure the completion of the channel through Utah to Las Vegas. The State Land Act of 1885 offers land at a price of $ 1.25 per acre ($ 3.09/hectare). Clark and Kearns promote the area to American farmers who are rapidly expanding farmland in the area. It was not until 1895 that the first large-scale Mormon migration began in the area, eventually fulfilling the early dreams of Brigham Young. Through wells and dry irrigation, agriculture became the main industry for the next 20 years and in return for its development, farmers named the Clark County area to honor the railroad tycoon and Senator.
1905-1929: birth, growth and crisis
At the beginning of the 20th century, the well drained water into the city, providing a reliable source of fresh water and a means of additional growth. Increasing water availability in the area allows Las Vegas to become a water stop, first for the next wagon and train, on the line between Los Angeles, California, and eastward like Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The San Pedro, Los Angeles & amp; The Salt Lake Railroad was completed in 1905, connecting Salt Lake City to southern California. US Senator William Andrews Clark is the majority owner of the railroad, which is a Utah-based company. Among its founders were US Senator Thomas Kearns and his business partner David Keith. Kearns, one of the richest and most powerful men in Utah, and Keith is the owner of Silver King Utah Coalition, several mines in Nevada and The Salt Lake Tribune. Kearns and Keith helped Clark ensure the success of new trains in Utah and to Nevada to California. Surprisingly, for the time being there are two cities named Las Vegas. The eastern side of Las Vegas (which includes the modern Main Street and Las Vegas Boulevard) is owned by Clark, and the western Las Vegas side (which covers the northern area of ​​the modern Bonanza Road) is owned by J.T. McWilliams, employed by the Stewart family during the sale of Las Vegas Rancho and purchased available land on the west of the farm. From their property that is Las Vegas is formed.
Clark then built another branched train from Las Vegas to the big city of Bullfrog called Las Vegas and Tonopah Railroad. With the revenue down on both intersected railways there, the Las Vegas area is rapidly expanding. On May 15, 1905, Las Vegas was officially established as a city, when 110 acres (45 ha), which then became the center of town, were auctioned out to ready buyers. Las Vegas was a driving force in the creation of Clark County, Nevada in 1909 and it was founded in 1911 as part of the county. Las Vegas's first mayor was Peter Buol on duty from 1911 to 1913.
Not long after the merger of the city, the State of Nevada reluctantly became the last western country to ban the game. It happened at midnight, October 1, 1910, when strict anti-gambling legislation became effective in Nevada. Even banning the western habit of flipping coins for the price of drinks. Nevertheless, Las Vegas has a diversified economy and a stable and prosperous business community, and therefore continued to expand until 1917. That year, the combination of economic influence and the transfer of resources by the federal government to support the war effort forced Las Vegas and Tonopah Railroad to declare bankruptcy. Although William Clark sold the remains of the company to Union Pacific Railroad, a national strike in 1922 left Las Vegas in a state of desperation. 1930-1941: _Hoover_Dam_and_the_first_casinos "> 1930-1941: Dam Hoover and first casino
On July 3, 1930, President Herbert Hoover signed an allocation bill for the Boulder Dam. The dam was later renamed the Hoover Dam during the Truman administration. Work began at the dam in 1931 and the Las Vegas population swelled from about 5,000 residents to 25,000, with most newcomers looking to build dams. Yet the demographics of the workforce comprised of men from all over the country without any ties to the region created a market for large-scale entertainment. A combination of local Las Vegas business owners, and Mafia crime rulers help develop casinos and showgirl theaters to entertain the construction workers of the men's dam.
Despite the influx of known crime figures, the local business community tried to throw Las Vegas in a respectful glow when Interior Secretary Ray Lyman Wilbur visited in 1929 to inspect the dam site. However a subordinate was found with alcohol on his breath (this during Prohibition time) after a visit to Block 16 in Las Vegas. The government finally decided that a federal-controlled city, Boulder City, would be established for dam workers.
Realizing that gambling would be profitable for local businesses, the legislature of the state of Nevada legalized gambling at the local level in 1931. Las Vegas, with its small but well established illegal gambling industry, is poised to start its revival as the gambling capital of the world. County issued its first gambling license in 1931 to the Northern Club, and soon other casinos were licensed on Fremont Street such as Las Vegas Club and Apache Hotel. Fremont Street became the first paved road in Las Vegas and received the city's first traffic light in 1931.
In return, the federal government has restricted the movement of dam workers to Las Vegas. Smuggling and spinning routes are then developed. In 1934, to limit these activities and the growth that criminals generated in the gambling industry, prominent city figures cleaned up the gambling nest and began an effort to stem the flow of workers from dams. It's just fighting for some dam workers who are still trying to visit Las Vegas. The celebration of this era has been known as Helldorado Days.
Despite the efforts of repression resulting in a drop in gambling and resulting business downturn, the city was recharged - both literally and figuratively - when the dam was completed in 1935. In 1937, Southern Nevada Power became the first utility to supply electricity. from the dam, and Las Vegas is his first customer. Electricity flows to Las Vegas and Fremont Street is known as Glitter Gulch because many bright lights are powered by electricity from Dam Hoover. Meanwhile, although the worker population of the dam disappears, the Hoover Dam and its reservoir, Lake Mead, are transformed into distinct tourist attractions and the need for higher grade hotels becomes clear.
In 1940, Route 95 US eventually expanded south to Las Vegas, giving the city two main access roads. Also in 1940, the first permanent radio station in Las Vegas, KENO, began airing in place of a niche previously occupied by a transient broadcaster.
1941-1945 years of war
On January 25, 1941, the US Army established a flexible cannon school for the United States Air Force Corps in Las Vegas. Mayor John L. Russell signed the land transfer to the US Army Quartermaster Corps for this development. The cannon school will later become Nellis Air Force Base. The US Army was not happy with legal prostitution in Las Vegas and in 1942 forced Las Vegas to ban the practice, placing Block 16, a local red light district that was permanently out of business.
On April 3, 1941, the owner of the Thomas Hull hotel opened El Rancho Vegas. It was the first road to what would become the Las Vegas Strip. The hotel gets a lot of fame from the gourmet buffet it has to offer. On October 30, 1942, a Texas film specialist, R. E. Griffith, rebuilt in a nightclub called Pair-O-Dice, which first opened in 1930, and renamed it Last Frontier Hotel. Several resorts are built in and around Fremont Street, but it is the next hotel on the Strip that openly shows the effect of organized crime in Las Vegas.
Although ethnic organized crime figures have been involved in several hotel operations, the Mafia boss has never owned or controlled hotels and clubs that remain monopolized by hard-to-find local Las Vegas families who do not want to hand over land to crime bosses and prove strong enough to push back. This changed in Las Vegas post-war when Jewish gangsters, Bugsy Siegel, with the help of friend and mob boss Meyer Lansky, poured money through Mormon's owned banks to cover the legitimacy and build The Flamingo in 1946. Siegel modeled his company in long-term. a gambling-royal empire in Galveston, Texas, which has pioneered the concept of high-end casinos that are the mainstay on the Strip.
1946-1955: postwar boom
Flamingo initially lost money and Siegel died in a rain of shots in Beverly Hills, California in the summer of 1947. In addition, local police and Clark County Sheriff's deputies were famous for their heavy-handed tactics against the mafia that "grew too big because of their pants." However, many mobsters see the potential offered by gambling in Las Vegas. From 1952 to 1957, through the money and institutional loans provided by the Timsters Union and some Mormon bankers they built the Sahara, Sands, New Frontier, Royal Nevada, Showboat, The Riviera, The Fremont, Binion's Horseshoe (which is the Apache Hotel), and finally The Tropicana.
Owned and operated by a combined combination of Mormon elders giving political and business legitimacy and people involved with organized crime that provide unreported income and street muscles, such as Meyer Lansky, these crime hotels are considered to be the epitome of gambling entertainment. Even with the common knowledge that some casino resort owners have dubious backgrounds, in 1954, more than 8 million people visited Las Vegas annually pumping $ 200 million into casinos. Gambling is no longer the only attraction; the biggest stars of movies and music such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Andy Williams, Liberace, Bing Crosby, Carol Channing, and others appear in an intimate setting. Upon arriving to see these stars, the tourists will continue gambling, and then eat at the gourmet buffet that has become a staple of the casino industry.
However, the meeting of various marginal and/or suspected groups such as Jews, Sicilians and Mormons into gambling companies in Las Vegas and subsequent turns of the city's gambling market by these groups sparked a two-year investigation by Senator Estes Kefauver and the Special Committee His Senate to Investigate Crime in Interstate Commerce in 1950-51. The hearing concluded that organized criminal money is indisputably tied to a Las Vegas casino and a controlling interest in the city that generates huge revenues for large groups that strengthen their influence in the country. This led to a proposal by the Senate to institutionalize federal gambling controls. It is only through the strength and influence of the Nevada Senator, Pat McCarran who proposes to the committee.
Along with their connections in Hollywood and New York City, these Las Vegas interests can use the publicity provided by these media capitals to drive the rapid growth of tourism to Las Vegas so as to mess up Galveston, Texas; Hot Springs, Arkansas; and other illegal game centers across the country. The game of Nevada law and paradoxical oversight by local and local law enforcement in other locales during the 1950s made their deaths inevitable.
Atomic Test
While the Path was growing rapidly, the US Atomic Energy Commission on 27 January 1951 blew up the first of more than a hundred atmospheric explosions on the Nevada Test Site. This atmospheric test will continue until the enactment of the Prohibition of Partial Test Ban in 1963 when the tests went underground. The last test boom was in 1992. Despite the dangers and risks, greatly underestimated at the time, radiation exposure from the fall, Las Vegas advertises the explosion as another tourist attraction and offers Atomic Cocktails in the Sky Room offering beautiful views of the mushroom clouds.
The entry of government officials to the Atomic Energy Commission and of the Bank which is controlled Mormon Las Vegas pioneered by E. Parry Thomas over the years to fund growing boom in the casino. But Las Vegas does more than grow a casino. In 1948, McCarran Field was established for commercial air traffic. In 1957 the University of Nevada, Las Vegas was first founded, initially as a branch of the University of Nevada, Reno and became independent in 1969. In 1959 the Clark County Commission to build Las Vegas Convention Center, which will be an important part of the local economy. A new utility company, Southwest Gas expanded to Las Vegas in 1954.
1956-1969: the beginning of modern Las Vegas
Howard Hughes
In 1966, Howard Hughes, the eccentric hero of the American aviation industry, and noted American entrepreneurial financiers with extensive connections to the old established network in the country, moved to Las Vegas. Originally staying at the Desert Inn, he refused to vacate his room and instead decided to buy the entire hotel. Hughes expanded his financial empire to include Las Vegas real estate, hotels and media outlets, spent about $ 300 million and used his considerable strength to take over many famous hotels, especially organized crime venues and he quickly became one of the most powerful people in Las Vegas. He was instrumental in transforming Las Vegas's image from the roots of the Wild West into a more refined cosmopolitan city.
Hank Greenspun
The local Las Vegas Sun newspaper and its editor Hank Greenspun led the crusade of the day to expose all criminal, governmental, and governmental corruption in Las Vegas. His investigative and editorial reporting led to the exposure of Glen Jones Sheriff's ownership of the brothel and the resignation of Lt. Governor Clifford A. Jones as the state's national committee for the Democratic Party. Prior to his death in 1989, Hank Greenspun founded The Greenspun Corporation to manage his family assets, and remained a major influence in Las Vegas, with media ownership in print, television and internet; substantial real estate holdings; and stock ownership in a number of casinos.
Local government
One problem for the City of Las Vegas is that the Strip does not live in Las Vegas. Therefore, the city loses tax revenues. There was a push to capture the Strip by City of Las Vegas, but The Syndicate used the Clark County Commons to pull a legal maneuver by arranging the Las Vegas Strip property into an unnamed town called Paradise. Under the Law of Nevada, a merged city, Las Vegas, can not annex an unknown city. To this day, almost all Strips are still out of Las Vegas City.
Desegregation
Just like in counties and other American cities across the United States, entertainment venues are separated between black and white owned businesses. With virtually all wholly owned and operated businesses, Black Americans are banned from entering places that remain focused, regardless of their legitimacy or criminality, on entertaining white-only customers. As a result of the property deed, businesses owned by or primarily serving non-whites are limited to clubs on the "west side" of the track. It is also enforced in many work positions. So, African-Americans (except those who provide manpower for low-salary position or entertainment) and Hispanics are limited in employment jobs in whites clubs. However, due to work agreements with black working groups, many clubs favor black workers, and the Hispanic population actually declined by ninety percent from 2,275 to just 236 in the mid-1950s.
Businesses owned by organized criminals see an opportunity not to share their clients with race and, even though property laws and city codes and districts obstruct such activities, make several attempts to democratize their business in the hope can stop the operations of clubs that do not belong to whites. and expand their own market share. An attempt was made to form an integrated nightclub that was modeled at Harlem Clubs in New York City during the 1920s and 1930s, like those of the German-Jewish gangster, Dutch Schultz. On May 24, 1955, Jewish crime boss Will Max Schwartz, along with other investors, opened Moulin Rouge. It's a very fancy casino and an integrated race that really competes against the resorts on the Strip, especially strips that do not belong to white people on the west side. By the end of the year, the casino was closed when Schwartz and his colleagues fell, but the seeds for racial integration were sown.
Many sources praised Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack as a significant driving force behind the desegregation at the casino. One famous story tells of Sinatra's refusal to perform at the Sands Hotel unless the hotel provides Sammy Davis Jr. with a room. Popular performing groups make similar demands elsewhere, forcing owners to change their policies from time to time.
However, political action is required for racial desegregation to occur. In 1960, the NAACP threatened city casino protests for their policies. Meetings between the NAACP, the mayor and local businessmen resulted in a casino desegregation throughout the city, beginning with employees. Many white people are shifting from their positions and their jobs are given to the black union. Along with the rest of the country, Las Vegas underwent a struggle for civil rights. Activists like James B. McMillan, Grant Sawyer, Bob Bailey, and Charles Keller drag Las Vegas into racial integration.
In addition to not seeing the business profits to exclude non-white customers from casinos and clubs, organized criminal groups themselves are comprised of ethnic (Jewish and Italian) people who face discrimination from the American WASP and thus understand the fate of blacks. It is also a driving force behind integration that is advocated by ethnic players such as Sinatra and Martin.
Another great strength for equality is Mayor Oran Gragson. Driven into local politics by a group of policemen who repeatedly enter his equipment store, he implements infrastructure improvements for minority neighborhoods in Las Vegas, supports the NAACP in action, and promotes black workers for employment. He also championed the cause of the Paiute tribe who owns a fraction of Las Vegas. Gragson stopped the US government from expelling the tribe and actually making infrastructure improvements for them. His work helped reverse the decline of minority populations in Las Vegas.
Local legislation that follows national law and integration is finally established. The only real violence occurred as a result of school integration, with riots and fighting going on at Clark High School when black gangs and youths started attacking white people. Integration triggered a white flight from the school district from 1965 to 1971. The school was later destroyed.
1970-1988: Explosive growth
By percentage, Las Vegas and Clark County experienced very high growth rates starting in the 1930s and lasting until the end of 2000 recession. During that period, city dwellers more than doubled in decades. This rate slowed down in the 1970s with a decrease in the rate of white birth, but never dropped below 60% (1980-1990), and even accelerated after 1990 due to immigration. In 2000, Las Vegas was the largest city founded in the 20th century, and in 2006 it was the 28th largest city in the US, with a population of 552,000 in the city and nearly 1.8 million in Clark County. The explosive growth resulted in the rapid development of commercial and residential areas throughout the Las Vegas Valley. A strong explosion in the resort business led to many new condo developments along the Strip and downtown areas. Also the growing urbanization of single-family homes continues across the valley, building Henderson, North Las Vegas, Centennial Hills, and Summerlin areas. Rapid growth and population growth both halted unexpectedly in the late 2000s.
During this period of time, American writer and journalist Hunter S. Thompson wrote and published his seminal novel, The Fear and Hate in Las Vegas, detailing his 1971 travel experience to the city.
On November 21, 1980, MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, suffered a terrible fire. A total of 85 people were killed and 785 wounded in what remains the worst disaster in Nevada's history. The property was eventually sold and reopened as Bally's Las Vegas, while MGM moved south to Tropicana Avenue.
Since 1989: era megaresort
The "Mafia/Rat Pack" of Las Vegas from the mid-20th century came to a gradual end in the 1980s with the aging of the World War II generation, the decline of organized crime elements, and the emergence of baby boomers who began a new chapter in history of the city, called the era megaresort. Las Vegas is starting to become a more commercial, family-oriented place with big companies coming to own hotels, casinos and nightclubs on the Mafia boss's premises. The era of megaresort began in 1989 with the construction of The Mirage. Built by developer Steve Wynn, it was the first resort built with money from Wall Street, selling $ 630 million in junk bonds. Its 3,044 rooms, each with gold-colored windows, set new standards for Vegas luxury and attract tourists in droves, leading to additional financing and fast growth on the Las Vegas Strip. More hotel landmarks and other buildings were destroyed to make way for bigger and more luxurious resorts including:
- 1990: Rio and Excalibur
- 1993: MGM Grand, Treasure Island, and Luxor,
- 1996: Stratosphere Tower and Monte Carlo
- 1997: New York-New York
- 1998: Bellagio
- 1999: Mandalay Bay, Venetian, and Paris
- 2000: Planet Hollywood (Formerly Aladdin)
- 2001: Palms
- 2005: Wynn (opened in April by Wynn Resorts Limited opened a new ship, built at a cost of US $ 2.7 billion.)
The Helldorado Days Festival started back in 2005 for the centennial celebration of the City of Las Vegas.
Since 2007: decline and recovery
The mortgage crisis home (2007-2010) and the 2000s recession affected the economic success of Las Vegas. Construction of new houses stalled, and construction projects canceled, postponed, or continued with financial problems. Some of these projects include MGM Mirage properties from CityCenter, Fontainebleau, Echelon, and The Plaza. The global financial situation also has a negative impact on game and tourism revenue, causing many companies to report net losses.
However, new landmarks and hotels will still appear, including:
- 2007: Palazzo
- 2008: Encore
- 2009: CityCenter
- 2010: The Cosmopolitan
Starting in 2013, this sector is beginning to reverse with the proposals of Resorts World project replacing the Echelon being built. The Alon Resort is planned to resume the previous site, Frontier and originally planned for Plaza. Fontainbleau is currently in the process of being sold and continued. Wynn Resorts also plans an additional tower with a central lake planned for 2020 and a new arena opened near the New York New York hotel in 2016.
Las Vegas still manages to host many major conventions and events, such as the annual Latin Grammy Awards, & amp; Consumer Electronics Show.
Many analysts agree that the Las Vegas economy is recovering, with improving conditions in the tourism and housing markets for 2013. Prices have increased and there has been a huge increase in the home market of millions of dollars, with many new custom built homes. January 2013 marked 19 consecutive months with home sales higher than the same month in the previous year. In addition, Las Vegas is named America's Top Turnover Market for 2012 by Trulia.
In June 2017, heat waves grounded more than 40 small aircraft flights on earth, with American Airlines reducing sales on certain flights to prevent vehicles exceeding the maximum weight allowed for safe takeoff and Las Vegas tying record highs at 117 degrees Fahrenheit.
During the afternoon of October 1, 2017, Las Vegas became the deadliest mass photo shoot conducted by a single gunman in US history. A gunman opened fire on the Route 91 Harvest festival visitors from Mandalay Bay resort, killing 58 people and injuring 851 people.
