-----It
is the destiny of Las Vegas to be discovered over
and over again. The history of the city can be told
of discoveries.
-----The
name "Las Vegas" was tagged by the Spanish
explorers who first discovered it in 1829. They
first called it "the Meadows" - but changed the
name when they discovered the lush meadows which
were fed by a natural water reserve found in the
midst of the desert. In 1843, Captain John C.
Fremont, having heard rumors of a great river,
entered the Great Basin to conduct the first
official mapping of what would become Nevada. "A
great part of it," he wrote in his journal, "is
absolutely new to geographical, botanical and
geological science." Even today, many of the plants
indigenous to Nevada are rare and cannot be found
anywhere else in the world.
In
the mid-1800s, a migration of Mormons
had replaced
the original Spanish residents, but by 1857 they
too were gone. It was in 1902 that Las Vegas was
again in a state of discovery. Senator William
Clark planned to build a railroad line between Los
Angeles and Salt Lake City, and he needed the
artesian springs of Las Vegas to do it. In 1905, he
auctioned his large land parcels, netting $265,000.
Those who bought those townsites lots were never
sorry. 25 years later the Federal Government
purchased the townsites to build the Dam named
after President Hoover.
-----An
engineering marvel, this 726.4 foot high concrete
dam can store two years' average flow of the
Colorado River, (and which still supplies the three
western states of California, Arizona and Nevada
with some of their power), was responsible for
pulling Las Vegas out of the Great Depression. It
took 5,000 men over a five-year period to build its
70-story high wall.
-----Notwithstanding,
the Hoover Dam, the biggest event in the history of
Las Vegas was the building of the Pink Flamingo by
Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky in 1946, on one of
Clark's parcels. The money was laundered into
Nevada from the profits earned on bootlegging
operations in the unlamented era of Prohibition and
from the sale of counterfiet rationing stamps
during World War II.
-----Although
the Pink Flamingo was not the first of its kind to
be built in the city, it was certainly the
forerunner of the modern day luxuriously
hotel/casinos for which Las Vegas is now famous. By
the late 1950s, Las Vegas had a well established
image of success and glamour. World famous
entertainers such as Frank Sinatra and the other
members of his "Rat Pack" (Joey Bishop, Sammy
Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford and Dean Martin) made
their Las Vegas shows legendary. Las Vegas became
"the Entertainment Capital of the World," a name by
which it is still known.
-----In
1966, a new legend arrived in town -- Howard
Hughes! Arriving suddenly in the middle of the
night, the mysterious millionaire took up residence
at the Desert Inn, which became his home for the
next four years. During his stay, he bought up a
great many hotel/casinos on the Strip, as well as a
television station, so that he could watch his
favorite movies.
running
(north/south from Flamingo to Tropicana and
east/west from Las Vegas Blvd to the Freeway) --
was sold in 1956 to resolve a delinquent water bill
in the amount of $356.00. As strange as it seems,
in 1996, another legend arrived in town, Troy Cory
brought the People's Republic of China with him to
build the Forbidden City, -- 2/3s of the
Jockey
Club was
purchased for Corporate back taxes. The venture is
still in the work-in-progress stage. Today the old
Dunes golf course includes the Jockey Club and the
billion dollar Belagio, Monte Carlo and the New
York New York Hotels. Across the street is the new
Aladin Hotel.
-----Each
year, Las Vegas is discovered by over 16 million
people coming to sample the fabulous night life,
striking landscape and spectacular attractions. All
that made Las Vegas what it is&emdash; water in the
desert, Hoover Dam, luxurious hotel/casinos with
their magnificent stage shows&emdash;is still here,
waiting to be discovered by you!
