Interesting Facts about Las Vegas

Las Vegas is one of the most popular gaming centers in the world. Millions of tourists come here every year to play in the casino, place bets, and have fun.

However, few people know that this city is known not only for its entertainment but also for interesting sights. In this review, we will look at interesting facts about Las Vegas that not everyone knows about.

Las Vegas, like New York, fascinates tourists with its splendor and wealth. A trip to Las Vegas can be the most memorable and exciting trip of your life. This city stands in the middle of a dead desert, it has a huge amount of vital energy and emotions. That is why it attracts people from all over the world so much.

The state of Nevada, in whose territory Las Vegas is located, was the first in 1931 to allow the construction and operation of a casino. Initially, such a decision was made in the interests of the city – to replenish the budget of secondary schools.

Surprisingly, every third act of theft in the city takes place with the participation of casino personnel. That is why the security staff monitors the casino staff as much as the visitors.

Las Vegas is home to the world-famous Bellagio fountains. They became popular after being featured in the second part of Ocean’s 11 trilogies. Inside these fountains is freshwater, which is extracted from the bowels to irrigate golf courses. The bulk of the produced water is used to irrigate the grass in these fields, and only a small part is used to operate the fountains.

Interestingly, in the film, the fountains looked completely different from what they actually looked like. Especially for the filming of the film, part of the pool was drained and a walking path was built on this site. The area of ​​the lake with fountains is about 3.5 hectares. In addition, they represent 1200 water jets and 4500 lamps, and their cost is about $60,000,000.

Tourists have a unique opportunity to control the fountains themselves. Despite the fact that this pleasure is not cheap at all – it costs $ 250,000, it is still very popular. In addition, everyone can choose the appropriate song from the proposed repertoire, under which an amazing jet dance will be performed.

The biggest casino wins are brought by one-armed bandits. Slot machines, which, by the way, are only one for each resident, bring almost $10,000,000,000 annually to the state. Although everyone mistakenly thinks that blackjack or poker brings the biggest profit – but this is not so.

Slot machines make up over 60% of casino earnings. However, the machine does not collect large amounts every day – several days can pass without a significant win. More facts about casinos you may find at Woo Casino.

The standard one-armed bandit is modeled after the first Liberty Bell slot machine, which was invented in 1899 by San Francisco mechanic Charles Fay.

In Nevada, there is an interesting Museum of Atomic Testing. It is located on the territory of the city’s nuclear test site, where about 1,000 explosions were carried out from 1945 to 1992. Las Vegas itself used to be a nuclear test site.

Today, this area is still undergoing tests that tourists can look at. Here you can also see unique photographs, chronicles, documents, and contrived experts who talk about nuclear energy.

One of the most popular hotels in Las Vegas is the Hilton (today it is called The Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino). This hotel is popular because the ghost of Elvis Presley has allegedly been seen there several times. Either in elevators, or under the stage of the theater, where he communicated with ghostly musicians. No wonder, because it was in this hotel that the King of Music often performed.

The most famous street in the city is Las Vegas Strip. It has a length of about 7 kilometers and is located in Clark County. Most of the largest hotels and casinos in Las Vegas can be found on this street. At the same time, the street itself is located outside the city and administratively belongs to the suburbs – Paradise and Winchester. It turns out that travelers who only visited the Strip, in fact, were not in Las Vegas.
