Wanna know more about Sin City and its history? Do a search on Wikipedia for Las Vegas. Did you know
that Vegas was established in 1905 and officially
became a city in 1911 and is the largest U.S. city
founded in the 20th century (a distinction Chicago held for the 19th century… see what I mean!). Vegas has a unique history unlike most cities. From the “Rat Pack” to showgirls to casinos never built, you can get some pretty cool info and photos on the past and future of America’s playground!

Here are three more websites you might want to explore: www.earlyvegas.com, www.vegastodayandtomorrow.com, and www.thelasvegasarchive.com.
