Las Vegas is a relatively young town but its history can be traced all the way back to 1829, when Antonio Armijo lead a party of 60 on the Old Spanish Trail to Los Angeles. While the caravan camped about 100 miles northeast of the present site of Las Vegas, a scouting party set out to look for water. Rafael Rivera, a young Mexican scout who left the main party and headed due west over the unexplored desert, discovered an oasis. The abundance of artesian spring water he found here shortened the Spanish trail to Los Angeles by allowing travelers to cut directly through rather than around, the vast desert. Spanish traders who used this route were thankful for the shortened trip and they named this convenient desert oasis Las Vegas Spanish for "the Meadows".
John C. Fremont was the next visitor to the Las Vegas Springs. In 1844 he led one of his many explorations to the Far West. He is still remembered today and his name graces one of the most spectacular streets in Las Vegas, Fremont Street, located downtown.
Ten years later Mormon settlers were sent by BrighamYoung from Salt Lake City to colonize the valley. They built a 150 square foot adobe brick fort, part of which still stands today as the oldest structure in Las Vegas and is appropriately named the Mormon Fort. The Mormons spent two years here before the harsh desert defeated their ambitions. By 1857 the fort was abandoned.
Things really didn't start happening for Las Vegas until 1904, when the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad laid its tracks through the Las Vegas Valley. The Railroad purchased prime land, bought the water rights and surveyed a town site for its railroad servicing and repair facilities. In 1905, the railroad held an auction and sold 700 lots. Las Vegas became a small watering stop with a few hotels, stores, a saloon and a few thousand residents.
When the government appropriated $165 million for the Boulder Canyon Project in 1928, Las Vegas received its first wave of residents. Thousands of Depression weary job seekers came to help build the world's largest gravity dam, 40 miles from Las Vegas, now named Hoover Dam.
In 1931, construction of the dam began and the Governor of Nevada, Fred Balzar, approved the "wide open" gambling bill that had been introduced by a Winnemucca rancher, Assemblyman Phil Tobin. Up until that time gambling was outlawed in Nevada.
Hoover Dam
As people flocked to the area to work on the Boulder Dam Project the federal government didn't want the workers to be distracted by the temptations of Las Vegas so they created a separate government town to house them, Boulder City. Gambling was illegal in Boulder City and it still remains the only community in Nevada where gambling is against the law.
The country's attention was focused on the dam as it was completed in 1935. The dam served as a magnet for federal appropriations, thousands of tourists and new residents and an endless supply of power and electricity. Also, as the country prepared for World War II. Tens of thousands of pilots and gunners trained at the Las Vegas Aerial Gunnery School, opened by the government on 3 million acres north of town. Today this property is home to Nellis Air Force Base and the Nevada Test Site.
By the early 1940s, downtown Las Vegas had several luxury hotels and a dozen small but successful gambling clubs. In 1941 a businessman by the name of Thomas Hull, who owned a string of motor inns in California, decided to open the El Rancho Las Vegas, just outside the city limits right off the highway from Los Angeles. The El Rancho had 100 motel rooms, a western styled casino, it was located right off the highway and had a large parking lot with an inviting swimming pool in the middle. The El Rancho's quick success led to the building of another property down the road called the Last Frontier Hotel. Thus the Las Vegas Strip was born.

![]() With so many things to do, so nearby, Las Vegas is the ideal starting point for many, many memorable adventures. From nearly a dozen State and National Parks in Nevada alone, to hundreds of fun, educational, entertaining and fascinating side trips for the whole family, you might want to consider adding an extra day or two to your vacation just to see some of the sights!
Las Vegas' centralized location makes it a stepping off point to Southern Utah (Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park), Arizona (Lake Havasu and Grand Canyon) and even Southern California (Death Valley, Universal Studios and Disneyland). Most of which are a mere day's drive away, returning in time for an evening show or dinner.
While many Las Vegas attractions are within walking distance of the Strip and Downtown, far more are an hour or more drive away. While the use of a car is suggested to enjoy the attractions at your own pace and interest level, there are inexpensive, organized Las Vegas tours by professional tour guides to the most popular attractions.

Colorado river & grand Canyon bottom
The Colorado River is famous for producing the massive and gorgeous Grand Canyon. But the river itself is a wonder to visit. Starting high in the mountains this long tributary bring waters from winter snowfall and carries it into the desert valleys. The region just below Las Vegas was regularly flooded each spring so it was decided in the 1930's to harbor the water behind the man-made wonder of Hoover Dam. This created the largest man-made recreational lake in the northern hemisphere, Lake Mead. Below the Dam the mighty Colorado River follows quickly yet gently through Black Canyon, know for its steep patinaed canyon walls and flourish of wildlife. Hidden hot springs and secluded beaches dot the river's edge all the way to Willow Beach. The Colorado also offers a side for the adventurous, white water, rapids, and swift currents may take the explorer on an exhilarating ride. There are only three ways to get to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Start at Hoover Dam or Willow Beach and take a river tour, canoeing or kayaking adventure, book an off-road tour or take the mule trail down. The mule trail rides are usually booked several years in advance.
