The history of #lasvegas is much different than that of other famous American cities. Most of its short 100-year existence has been demolished or replaced. Las Vegas’ #history has been documented in pencil. It’s written, erased, and written over again in the same place. It can make learning difficult because we are no longer able to physically visit some of these historic locations. However, with some imagination, we can retell the history of this oasis in the dessert.

We’ll begin by learning about the #Paiute #nativeamerican tribe and their time in the Las Vegas region. Then, we’ll find out how Senator William A. Clark put #vegas on the map by building a railroad station in town. We’ll get to know a man named JT McWilliams, and how he had hoped his #Ragtown would bring him riches. Electricity became available when the nearby Boulder or #hooverdam was completed, and it would make Las Vegas one of the brightest cities on Earth. Hotels would spring up on #fremontstreet and #thestrip , and we’ll #learn about the #historical resorts that had an impact on the city. We’ll cover some of the Vegas visionaries like #SteveWynn and #HowardHughes and discover how they impacted the city with their ideas. Finally, we’ll learn about how Las Vegas has become a thrill attraction destination, and how #sports teams are now calling Las Vegas home.
