The City of Las Vegas, the Early Years tells the amazing story of how this community came to be.

Las Vegas in its early days embodied all of these things we think of as being a frontier mentality – financial freedom, personal freedom, moral freedom. You could come to Las Vegas and do what you wanted to do and probably succeed at it, and if you don’t then you, it’s probably your own fault.-Dennis McBride, Director, Nevada State Museum.

The people at first that came to Las Vegas were either looking for a first start or a second start… or one last chance. –Bob Stoldal, Historian.
