INTRODUCTION:-

LAS VEGAS, city, southeastern NEVADA is the only major city in the American West to have been founded in the 20th century. Growing from a tiny desert-bound railroad service to the world's well-known place for casinos., elaborate hotels, and spectacular entertainment. It is the place of millions of lightbulbs ta a place which makes its nights dazzling bright.

CHARACTERS:-

The city consists of the largest glass pyramid in the world; one of the largest hotels in the country, with more than 5,000 rooms; and one of the most expensive hotels ever constructed, the Bellagio. Its multibillion-dollar economy is devoted to servicing a wide array of impulses and addictions of many kinds. Beyond the bright lights of the Strip, however, lies a perfectly ordinary Western city, with neighborhoods, churches, shopping centers, and strip malls. It draws thousands of visitors and residents every year.

ECONOMY:-

Agriculture formed the basis of the Las Vegas economy from the mid-19th to the early 20th century. The city’s outlying areas continued to depend on farming and ranching until the 1980s when the rising cost of obtaining subsurface and river water for fields and pastures caused many to abandon their operations. Whereas agriculture had accounted for the vast majority of water use in the area, the city’s municipal needs began to grow with an increase in population.

CASINO:-

The legalization of gambling in 1931 encouraged other parts of the country to request the recall of Nevada’s statehood. Today there are forms of legalized gambling in 48 of the 50 states. There are more than 150 casinos and at least 150,000 hotel/motel rooms in the Las Vegas valley area.
