Las Vegas, As It Began, As It Grew
By Stanley Paher
In the 19th century, Las Vegas was first a Spanish Trail waterhole, then a religious mission, and also a ranch. Las Vegas emerged in 1905 as a railroad town, then developed into a gambling center during distinct boom periods. The reader is led every step along these transitions in both the text and careful selection of photos.
