            It's difficult to envision the Las Vegas we know of today having emerged from the Mojave Desert 100 years earlier-from dusty windstorms to dazzling skylines. This continually evolving fantasyland boasts an overwhelming number of things to see and do, and welcomes more than 38 million tourists a year who come to enjoy its world-class entertainment, countless casinos, glamorous hotels, five-star restaurants, elegant shopping, and even a Sphinx and the Statue of Liberty. <br><br>Las Vegas is the most populous city in the state of Nevada with just under six-million residents. It's situated within Clark County, which is the site of the world-famous strip that stretches four-and-a-half miles along the boulevard mostly outside the city limits in the unincorporated town of Paradise. The county is also the home of 14 of the nation's 15 largest hotels and an overall population of some two million. Las Vegas was established as a railroad town in 1905 and officially became a city in 1911. The completion of the Hoover Dam resulted in a substantial growth in tourism, which along with the legalization of gambling 20 years later, led to the advent of the casino-hotels soon after for which the city has long been famous. <br><br>When describing Las Vegas it truly is a tale of two cities. On the one hand, there are those mythical qualities that embrace the glitz and glamour of palatial resorts where throngs of pleasure-seeking tourists wager millions of dollars every day and embrace this wondrous place that's affectionately known as "Sin City." Then, looking beyond the myth, there lies the mystical nature of "The Meadows," and a southwestern metropolitan area that yields to quite a different setting where the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains form a scenic backdrop outlying a community of universities, churches, parks, and quiet neighborhoods populated by people from all walks of life.
