Every person has heard about the capital of the US gambling business. Las Vegas is the center of excitement and big money, a place where hopes crumble and dreams come true. Here they not only pull the tail of fortune, but also quickly marry, arrange bachelor parties, hang out in nightclubs and feel "almost in Europe" in hotels disguised as Paris or Venice. Tours to Las Vegas are preferred by all Americans at least once in their life. However, Russian tourists are also not alien to anything human, and therefore in the city in the very south of Nevada, Russian is increasingly heard.
History with geography
A shining sea of advertising lights appeared in the heart of the Mojave Desert in 1931. It was then that a law was passed on the territory of Nevada to allow card games to replenish the budget. Gambling houses began to grow like mushrooms after a summer rain, and the number of those wishing to try their luck increased tenfold every year.
The history of the appearance of Las Vegas on the world map in 1829 is connected with the amazing rescue of a lost trade caravan in the desert. People were dying of thirst when one of them accidentally discovered a source of artesian water. The settlement founded in those parts was named Las Vegas, which means "fertile valleys" in Spanish.
