Early Vegas Hotels

It is very difficult to imagine that at one time Vegas was a vast expanse of nothing!  Then the growth began in the 1930s and1940s and the basic landscape emerged. Major hotels stepped into the picture and it developed as a tourist destination. The Vegas skyline underwent dramatic changes over the years.

The early casinos like El Rancho and the Dunes did roaring business. Then came the Golden Nugget, the Mint and Binion’s Horseshoe on Fremont Street. This was closely followed by Sahara, The Flamingo and the Sands Hotel and casino on the Strip.

Casino hotels and resorts have become more extravagant and luxurious since and compete fiercely with each other to outshine the rest. Most hotels boast multiple restaurants, lounges, bars, coffee shops, spas, pools, shopping promenades and unlimited gaming options. Casinos too have transformed into spacious, tastefully done up rooms with a comfortable ambience.

Vegas has evolved, developed and changed so much that the choices today, in terms of hotels, are simply mind blowing. The hotels are splendid in grandeur, offer all modern amenities and ensure an extremely comfortable stay. The Wynn, Caesar’s Palace, The Bellagio, MGM Grand, Venetian, Luxor, Mirage, Encore, Mandalay Bay, Palazzo and Trump offer all this and more! The MGM Grand even features world class chefs.

No wonder then, that Vegas has rapidly emerged as a tourist hub. The glitter and the glamour attract vacationers from every corner of the world.
