Introduction
Over time, Las Vegas has
been an oasis that became a dessert, and then was resurrected into an
oasis by the gambling industry. Today it is not only an oasis, but a
fantasy land and an escape from our everyday life to come relax and
enjoy ourselves. What is it about “Vegas” makes it so appealing
to us all, and why has it been so prosperous. Throughout the history
of mankind gambling, prostitution and sinful actions have intrigued
us and lead to curiosity. Many things today are the way they are
because of the simple fact that “sin” sells. In 1931 when Nevada
legalized gambling it opened a big door to entrepreneurs to come in
and make profit off of these things. “Vegas” has become a star
vacation spot in the US and one of the most profitable cities around.
Las Vegas wasn’t always like this though. Today we will be taking a
look first at where Vegas came from.
