Las Vegas
Hospitality Industry
Welcome to LodgingGuide's hospitality industry listings for the Las Vegas area.
Spanish explorers in the early 1800s first named this oasis Las Vegas, "the meadows," as the discovery of springs here enabled passage along the Old Spanish Trail to Los Angeles directly through the desert instead of around it. The railroads followed and began to develop Las Vegas as a mid-desert rest and maintenance stop. Construction of the Hoover Dam followed, which attracted many workers and new residents displaced by the Great Depression. The prohibition against gambling in heavy construction towns like Boulder City served to create a demand for gambling in nearby towns like Las Vegas, which in turn attracted organized crime and the casino construction boom of the 1940s and 1950s. Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel's Flamingo Hotel, now the Flamingo Hilton, is the only hotel on the Strip which has survived from that initial boom. The Las Vegas Strip remains an international gambling capital, but it is now surrounded by a town that has developed and matured around it, and features some of the best restaurants, shops and grand hotels in the world.
