Las
Vegas, Nevada
Las
Vegas is the most populous city in the state of Nevada,
United States, and a major vacation, shopping, and gambling
destination. It was established in 1905, officially
became a city in 1911 and is the largest American city
that was founded in the 20th century.
|
The
name Las Vegas is often applied to the unincorporated areas
of Clark County that surround the city, especially the resort
areas on and near the Las Vegas Strip. This 4½ mi (7¼
km) stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard is mostly outside the Las
Vegas city limits, in the unincorporated town of Paradise.
The
center of gambling in the US, Las Vegas is marketed as The
Entertainment Capital of the World, also commonly known as
Sin City, due to the popularity of legalized gambling, availability
of alcoholic beverages any time (like all of Nevada), and
various forms and degrees of adult entertainment. The city's
glamorous image has made it a popular setting for films and
television programs.
