Each of the big hotels in Las Vegas is special. Going into one is like entering another world.
One hotel is like ancient Egypt. Another is like a tropical island. Still another is like New York City.
These hotels have shows with famous entertainers. Everything looks expensive. But the rooms cost
half the price of the rooms in other places. And the restaurants have all-you-can-eat meals for very
little money. That's because the hotels make their money from the gambling casinos.
Las Vegas started in 1905 as a small train stop. There. were only a few buildings in the middle
of the desert. In 1946. a famous gangster named Bugsy Seigel built the first casino. Re was.
murdered in 19-17. "Iris made him and Las Vegas more famous! In the early 1950s, tourist went to
Las Vegas not only to gamble. They went to watch atomic bomb tests in the desert outside the city.
In those days, people didn't know it was dangerous. They thought it was exciting.
Las Vegas is also famous for its many wedding chapels. Like all of Las Vegas, they are open
twenty-four hours a day. Getting married is easy. A couple just pays a few dollars for a license, and
they can get married immediately. They don't have to wait. Many famous movie stars were married
in Las Vegas.
It is interesting that Las Vegas has more churches for its population anywhere else in the
