Historical Evolution

More than 1 years ago, Las Vegas was a small village with no name.

"Las Vegas" comes from Spanish, which means "fertile grassland", because Las Vegas is the only oasis with spring water in the desolate stone desert and Gobi area around it. Because of the spring water, it has gradually become a post station for roads and a transit station for railways.

Las Vegas was built in 1854 by Mormons in the western United States at that time. Later, Mormons moved away and American soldiers turned it into a military station, but the population here was still very small.

in p>1829, Mexican businessmen discovered this huge valley and began to live here. Then a group of Mormons from Utah moved here.

In p>1888, the access of the Union Pacific Railway made it prosperous and a small town was established.
