Las Vegas is the largest city in the state of Nevada. Claiming to be the Entertainment Capital of the World, it is situated in the midst of the southern Nevada desert landscape. The city has giant mega-casino hotels, decorated with lavish care and attention to detail to create a fantasy-like atmosphere. The casinos often have names and themes that evoke romance, mystery, and far-away destinations.
While the Mojave Desert itself is sparsely populated, it has increasingly become urbanized in recent years. Las Vegas, Nevada is the largest city in the Mojave, with a metropolitan population of over 1.9 million. The Mojave Desert is one of the most popular tourism spots in North America, primarily because of gambling destination Las Vegas.
Besides the major national parks there are other areas of identified significance and tourist interest in the desert such as the Big Morongo Canyon Preserve, which spans the Mojave and Colorado Desert, and the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, 17 miles west of Las Vegas.
Nevada is a state located in the western region of the United States of America. The capital is Carson City and the largest city is Las Vegas. The state's nickname is "The Silver State," due to the large number of silver deposits that were discovered and mined there. In 1864, Nevada became the 36th state to enter the union, and the phrase "Battle Born" on the state flag reflects the state's entry on the Union side during the American Civil War. Its first settlement was called Mormon Station.
Nevada
is almost entirely within the Basin and Range Province, and is broken up by many
north-south mountain ranges. Most of these ranges have inland-draining (unconnected
to the ocean by waterways) valleys between them, which belies the image portrayed
by the term Great Basin.
Pinion Juniper forests cover large areas of the north
and central parts of the state. Sunrise over Reno Much of the northern part of
the state is within the Great Basin Desert, a mild desert that experiences hot
temperatures in the summer and sub-freezing temperatures in the winter. The Humboldt
River crosses from east to west across the northern part of the state, draining
into the Humboldt Sink near Lovelock. Several rivers drain from the Sierra Nevada
eastward, including the Walker, Truckee and Carson rivers. The mountain ranges,
some of which have peaks above 13,000 feet harbor lush forests high above desert
plains, creating sky islands for endemic species. The valleys are often no lower
in elevation than 3,000 feet. The southern third of the state, where the Las Vegas
area is situated, is within the Mojave Desert. The area receives less rain in
the winter but is closer to the Arizona Monsoon in the summer. The terrain is
also lower, mostly below 4,000 feet, creating conditions for hot summer days and
cool to chilly winter nights due to inversion.
This History of Las Vegas covers both the Las Vegas, Nevada and the Las Vegas metropolitan area. Las Vegas was given its name by the members of the Antonio Armijo party in 1829 who used the water in the area while heading north and west along the Old Spanish Trail from New Mexico. In the 1800s, small parts of the Las Vegas Valley contained artesian wells that supported extensive green areas, hence the name Las Vegas, Spanish for The Meadows. The flows from these wells fed the Las Vegas Wash which ran to the Colorado River.
