About Las Vegas
Las Vegas is a large city known for its many casinos and attractions, but when it was first established in 1905, it consisted of only 110 acres of land that was auctioned off by the local railroad companies. Over the years, Las Vegas grew into a thriving community supported by the thriving hotel and casino industry and the Nellis Air Force Base. Now, it’s home to over 646,000 permanent residents, and countless tourists flock to the city year-round to visit icons like Fremont Street, Caesar’s Palace, and the Bellagio. In Las Vegas, you can always see a show, visit a museum, or enjoy one of the city’s countless other cultural offerings.
