Las Vegas is the Entertainment Capital of the World with more than 75 casinos, bright lights, sumptuous restaurants, an amazing Fremont Experience in the downtown area, and many family-oriented tours and museums. One hundred years ago, Las Vegas was little more than a dusty whistle-stop on the railroad line to Los Angeles, but the city got a boost from the decision to build a dam on the Colorado River just 30-miles from town.
Banking heavily on the prospects of workers, massive payrolls, and visitors to the desert town, Nevada passed an open gaming bill in 1931; one month after work began on Boulder Dam. The official name of the dam changed in 1947, about the time Mob boss “Bugsy” Siegel was being rubbed out by his financial backers for making a mess of the Flamingo Hotel.

The casino also features a 4,500-square-foot (420 m 2) 24-hour poker room; and many slot machines and video poker machines. The hotel has operated as a host venue for live music and sports entertainment. In addition to holding boxing matches since the late 1970s, Caesars also hosted the Caesars Palace Grand Prix from 1981 to 1982.
Since that time, Las Vegas has added more than a dozen mega resorts like the Bellagio and MGM (with 5,000 hotel rooms) to the Las Vegas Strip. Today, the gaming mecca offers penny slots up to $100 a spin slot machines, $25,000 per hand blackjack, and special gaming rooms where the world’s biggest gamblers can wager as much as $1million on a single hand of baccarat.

Las Vegas also offers nightly shows with big name entertainers like Elton John, Garth Brooks, and Celine Dion, clubs with dancing and bars larger than any other place in the US, and gaudy, expensive shopping.
