Las Vegas, which is Spanish for “The Meadows”, is the party city of Nevada. The city began in the 1800's as a watering hole along the Old Spanish Trail. It was established as a legitimate town in 1905 when it became a railroad stop along the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake City line. It was officially incorporated as a city in 1911. It wasn’t until when Nevada legalized gambling in 1931 that the city became subjugated by casinos and speakeasies.  More now than ever Las Vegas offers countless casinos and entertainment venues for tourists looking to have fun and spend money. A themed casino can be found in Nevada yellow pages, or on every city’s corner streets.
