Las Vegas

Though Las Vegas is known for its ritzy casinos, decadent shows and neon lights, this city in the Mojave Desert has humble origins. The area was settled by Paleo-Indians who lived as nomads and camped in various areas throughout the city. A European named Rafael Rivera discovered the valley and named it Las Vegas, which is Spanish for "the meadows." The area was then lush and green with wild grass and plenty of water.
