The most famous hotel casinos are located on Las Vegas Boulevard, better known as the Las Vegas Strip. Many of these hotels are massive, carrying thousands of rooms, with their large adjoining casino areas. There are many hotel casinos in the city's downtown area as well, which was the original focal point of the city's gaming industry in its early days. Several large hotels and casinos are also located somewhat off the Strip but adjacent to it, as well as in the county around the city.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Some of the most notable casinos involved in downtown gaming are on the Fremont Street Experience which was granted variances to allow bars to be closer together, similar to the Gaslamp Quarter of San Diego.

Las Vegas, which bills itself as The Entertainment Capital of the World, is famous for the number of casino resorts and associated entertainment. A growing retirement and family city, it is the 28th most populous city in the United States with an estimated population by the U.S. Census Bureau of 558,383 as of 2008.The estimated population of the Las Vegas metropolitan area as of 2008, was 1,865,746.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Established in 1905, Las Vegas officially became a city in 1911. With the growth that followed, at the close of the century Las Vegas was the most populous American city founded in the 20th century (a distinction held by Chicago in the 19th century). The city's tolerance for various forms of adult entertainment earned it the title of Sin City, and this image has made Las Vegas a popular setting for films and television programs. Outdoor lighting displays are everywhere on the Las Vegas Strip and are seen elsewhere in the city as well. As seen from space, the Las Vegas metropolitan area is one of the brightest on Earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The name Las Vegas is often applied to unincorporated areas that surround the city, especially the resort areas on and near the Las Vegas Strip. This 4 mi (6.4 km) stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard is partly in the Las Vegas city limits, but mainly in the unincorporated communities of Paradise and Winchester, and continues partly into unincorporated Enterprise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=gYEuhGCLbec&amp;offerid=176450.10000246&amp;type=4&amp;subid=0"&gt;&lt;IMG alt="ONETRAVEL.COM" border="0" src="http://www.cheapoair.com/travel/test/OT-destination-banners/images/Flight/Las%20Vegas/180x150.gif"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;IMG border="0" width="1" height="1" src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=gYEuhGCLbec&amp;bids=176450.10000246&amp;type=4&amp;subid=0"&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7763178292647117029-7464426557142779613?l=las-vegas-experience.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LasVegasExperienceTravelHotelsCasinosEntertainmentSinCity/~4/31qnjA5iLGA" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="related" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas,_Nevada" title="Las Vegas, Nevada" /><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://las-vegas-experience.blogspot.com/feeds/7464426557142779613/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://las-vegas-experience.blogspot.com/2009/09/las-vegas-nevada.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7763178292647117029/posts/default/7464426557142779613?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7763178292647117029/posts/default/7464426557142779613?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LasVegasExperienceTravelHotelsCasinosEntertainmentSinCity/~3/31qnjA5iLGA/las-vegas-nevada.html" title="Las Vegas, Nevada" /><author><name>Kiema Inc</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="31" height="21" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_V4A-qp9uMec/R-wnnzUuolI/AAAAAAAAACU/719XhO1P_2c/S220/437x2.jpg" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><link rel="license" type="text/html" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/" /><feedburner:origLink>http://las-vegas-experience.blogspot.com/2009/09/las-vegas-nevada.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CEMGQ306eip7ImA9WxNSGUQ.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763178292647117029.post-8619334587152138433</id><published>2009-09-03T08:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-03T08:40:22.312-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-09-03T08:40:22.312-07:00</app:edited><title>History of Las Vegas</title><content type="html">The first reported visit to the valley by someone of European descent was Raphael Rivera in 1829.Las Vegas was named by Spaniards in the Antonio Armijo party, who used the water in the area while heading north and west along the Old Spanish Trail from Texas. In the 1800s, areas of the Las Vegas Valley contained artesian wells that supported extensive green areas or meadows (vegas in Spanish), hence the name Las Vegas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John C. Frémont traveled into the Las Vegas Valley on May 3, 1844, while it was still part of Mexico.He was a leader of a group of scientists, scouts and observers for the United States Army Corps of Engineers. On May 10, 1855, following annexation by the United States, Brigham Young assigned 30 missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints led by William Bringhurst to the area to convert the Paiute Indian population to Mormonism. A fort was built near the current downtown area, serving as a stopover for travelers along the "Mormon Corridor" between Salt Lake and the briefly thriving colony of saints at San Bernardino, California. However, Mormons abandoned Las Vegas in 1857. Las Vegas was established as a railroad town on May 15, 1905, when 110 acres (44.5 ha) owned by Montana Senator William A. Clark's San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad, was auctioned off in what is now downtown Las Vegas. Las Vegas was part of Lincoln County until 1909 when it became part of the newly established Clark County. The St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church near 4th and Bridger in downtown was founded in 1910.Las Vegas became an incorporated city on March 16, 1911.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las Vegas started as a stopover on the pioneer trails to the west, and became a popular railroad town in the early 1900s. It was a staging point for all the mines in the surrounding area, especially those around the town of Bullfrog, that shipped their goods out to the rest of the country. With the proliferation of the railroads, Las Vegas became less important but the completion of the nearby Hoover Dam in 1935 resulted in the growth of residents and tourism. The dam, located 30 mi (48 km) southeast of the city, also formed Lake Mead, the world's largest man-made lake and reservoir. Today, tours are offered into lesser known parts of the dam. The legalization of gambling in 1931 led to the advent of the casino-hotels, for which Las Vegas is famous. The success of the city's initial casino businesses was owed to American organized crime. Most of the original large casinos were managed or at least funded under mob figures Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, Meyer Lansky or other mob figures at this time.With the arrival of billionaire Howard Hughes in the late 1960s, who purchased many casino-hotels and television stations in the city, legitimate corporations began to purchase casino-hotels as well, and the mob was run out by the federal government over the next several years. The constant stream of tourist dollars from the hotels and casinos was also augmented by a new source of federal money. This money came from the establishment of what is now Nellis Air Force Base. The influx of military personnel and casino job-hunters helped start a land building boom which still goes on today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though Las Vegas's gambling revenues have been surpassed by Macau, the city remains one of the world's top entertainment destinations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=gYEuhGCLbec&amp;offerid=181413.10000017&amp;type=4&amp;subid=0"&gt;&lt;IMG alt="HostelBookers.com Ltd.
