LITTLE
HISTORY
The history of Las Vegas began rather mundane. In 1829, a caravan bound for Los Angeles went astray. Having set up a camp, they sent several volunteers, led by Mexican Rafael Riviera, in search of water.
They managed to find an artesian spring surrounded by a small grove, which became their salvation. Around the source, a small settlement quickly grew (historians talk about the emergence of the city as early as 1864), which received the name "Las Vegas", which means "floodplain meadows" in Spanish.
However, the official date of the emergence of Las Vegas is considered May 15, 1905.
The Industrial Revolution in the United States, which has spurred the development of many cities, has affected Las Vegas as well. The city became an important gas station for steam trains between Salt Lake City and Los Angeles.
Since the official date of its foundation, the city has been overflowing with saloons and gambling halls, where card games dominated. This was accompanied, just like in classic westerns, by grandiose drinking and constant showdowns, often ending in shootings. This forced the authorities in 1909to ban all types of gambling, including the common coin.
