Miami before it became the most populated city in Florida, 1920
Although Miami has always been a city known for its beautiful beaches and tourist attractions, back in 1920 it was known for its first-ever royal-worthy hotel, The Roney Plaza Hotel, and Casino. This brand new hotel was at the center of the town’s future plans of becoming the number one vacation destination in the nation.
As you can see, the hotel stands tall as the beacon of the city’s non existing skyscraper. Today, the town is known for its lavish hotels, sunny beaches, and legendary clubs. While it lost its number one vacation spot to Las Vegas, it is still one of the best places to visit when you need a vacation.
