Las Vegas

History of the house

Nevada legalised gaming in 1931. On 2 April 1931 the Clark County Commission granted the first eight licences; most of the businesses were at the west end of Fremont Street downtown.

On 3 April 1941 the El Rancho Vegas opened on what became the Strip, the first hotel-casino there. Since then the large resorts have been built along Las Vegas Boulevard South.
