“Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” reads the sign welcoming you to the Sin City, and fabulous it is. Not many cities in the U.S have kept their reputation over 50 years the way Las Vegas have – it was always considered the city of unlimited fun and options, the place to go to unwind and have a good time, and that is still the case today. The city was founded in 1905 but it wasn’t until 1930, when the building of the canonical Hoover Dam attracted many newcomers to the city, that it began to take on its shape as the city of entertainment. It was later in the 30s when the casinos and showgirl industry were established to entertain the large community of male construction workers, and the rest is history.
