City of Las Vegas company history timeline

1910

Nevada outlawed gambling in 1910 but the practice continued in speakeasies and illicit casinos.

1911

The future downtown was platted and auctioned by railroad company backers, and Las Vegas was incorporated in 1911.

1936

When the dam was completed in 1936, cheap hydroelectricity powered the flashing signs of Fremont’s “Glitter Gulch.”

1941

In 1941 the El Rancho Vegas resort opened on a section of United States 91 just outside the city’s jurisdiction.

1966

In 1966 Howard Hughes checked into the penthouse of the Desert Inn and never left, preferring to buy the hotel rather than face eviction.
