Las Vegas made a name for itself as the epicentre of the best in gaming tables and slot machines. A lot of online video Slots and live casino games take inspiration from the bright lights of Las Angeles.
In 1905, railway tracks were laid between Las Vegas and the Pacific coast. The project took a long time and involved a lot of work. After work, workers used to play small card games to relax. In 1910, the state authorities cracked down on gambling and outlawed it. However, some people still found a way to get their fix.
Gambling was legalised in Las Vegas in 1931. The first resort-style casinos opened in El Rancho Vegas ten years later. They were more than just gaming tables and swimming pools, but also horse-riding facilities.
The Mirage Hotel and Casino was opened by Steve Wynn in 1989. It was the first mega resort on the Vegas strip. The inspiration for the design of the casinos came from the canals in Venice and the marble statues and murals from ancient Rome.
