the capital of casinos

In the middle of a Nevada desert lies one of the most famous gambling cities in the world: Las Vegas. This city, nicknamed "the city of sin", this gigantic city was born in the middle of the year 1905. It is a few years later that the city of Las Vegas will undergo a very big boom. In 1931, the United States authorized gambling. A few years later, and especially after the Second World War, the first casino was built in downtown Las Vegas. Within a few years, many casino hotels were built and the number of tourists increased dramatically. The city became the real meeting place for casino players and gambling fans.

Unfortunately for the city of Las Vegas, it has many money problems, especially because of the Mafia. Indeed, for many years, the mafia took over the city and especially the casinos. Thus, many money laundering are to be attributed to Las Vegas.

Faced with this problem, the elected officials of Nevada take the lead and decide to hunt down the mafia. In a few years, many heads fell and little by little, Las Vegas became a city where dirty money disappeared and many stars decided to settle there. Indeed, faced with the impressive number of tourists arriving in the city, some hotels and casinos decided to create concerts. Thus, since the creation of this city, Elvis Presley, Britney Spears or even Celine Dion realized historical concerts.

Nowadays, Las Vegas has become the most famous gambling land in the world. Poker, blackjack, roulette, slot machines... but that's not all. In fact, what has made the city of Las Vegas very famous are the weddings that are performed in the more than 50 chapels present throughout the city. In total, nearly 120,000 couples are married in Las Vegas. In a few figures, Las Vegas welcomes between 35 and 40 million visitors each year, 25% of whom come from Los Angeles.

Currently, the population of Las Vegas is growing. In fact, in 2019, the city of all sins was inhabited by over 651,000 people. If you take into account the urban area, the population rises to over 2,200,000 million people.
