Vegas - 3 Hotel Reviews to Suit Every Pocket

First Hand Travel Review

Vegas.... the possibilities are endless. From pubs and clubs, shows , getting hitched or gambling your house away, Vegas offers it all. Las Vegas, Nevada, was originally named by the Spanish in the Antonia Armijo party back in 1829 however evidence of pre-historic life manifestid in Las Vegas Valley 1993 when workers uncovered the remains of a Columbian Mammoth. Now, some of you may believe that pre-historic life is still "alive and well" in Las Vegas, and, perhaps you are right.

The birth of Las Vegas was a long and hard journey however it was in the years 1930-1946 that the famous Casinos emerged after gambling was legalized in 1931. Gambling was now organized and legalized and Vegas grew from there into the gambling capital of the world. Racketeers and criminals soon realized the potential of Las Vegas they began to move into the strip and pump millions of dollars into this venture. Bye the year 1954 over eight million people were visiting Vegas however, gambling was no longer the only attraction.

The biggest stars of the day including Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin and even Abbott and Costello were performing for tourists in Vegas. After being drawn into Vegas by the stars the customers would then need to be fed so gourmet restaurants were built in the hotels. When the customers had sated their appitite, gambling was readily available for all.
