Vegas Travel
Las Vegas is the most populous city in the state of Nevada. The city has a reputation for being one of the wildest places on the planet, and, for this reason, it is also known as Sin City. Las Vegas is a very popular tourist city because of its legalized gambling, availability of alcoholic beverages at any time, and so on.
It was in the beginning of the nineteenth century (1905) that Las Vegas was established, and it formally became a city in 1911. In the early 1900s, the city became famous as a railroad town. During the twentieth century, Las Vegas evolved into one of the largest cities in the country. The expansion of the railroads and the building of the Hoover Dam infused new life into Las Vegas. The completion of the Hoover Dam resulted in federal dollars being converted to tourist dollars. Las Vegas has some wonderful neighborhoods, such as Green Valley, Summerlin, Henderson, Red Rock, Anthem, and Southern Highlands.
The city takes pride in some of its famous places, which a tourist must include in his itinerary. One of these is the main university of Southern Nevada, The University of Nevada, Las Vegas, which came into being in 1957. The university has its main campus in North Las Vegas. The city s popular museums include the Guinness World of Records Museum; Liberace Museum, Las Vegas Art Museum; Nevada State Museum and Historical Society, which demonstrates Nevada s history; and Las Vegas Natural History Museum, which displays wildlife and dinosaur exhibits.
