This later world's largest gambling city was first established next to the railway. It was just a small town with a small population in the early days, and it was not officially established until [-].
Before the 30s, gambling was banned in Las Vegas, and it had nothing to do with the world's casinos in later generations.
The initial development of Las Vegas mainly relied on gold and silver mining. During the mining process, Las Vegas absorbed a lot of people.
And these didn't make much of a difference in Las Vegas.
It was in the 30s, during the Great Depression of the United States, that Las Vegas really underwent earth-shaking changes and moved towards a world-class casino.
In order to alleviate the economic crisis, the well-known President Hoover started a series of infrastructure construction, preparing to use domestic demand to alleviate the domestic economic recession.
At that time, the famous Hoover Dam happened to fall on the head of Las Vegas.
The Hoover Dam project started, and the population of Las Vegas soared from only [-] citizens at the beginning to more than [-], and the population increased several times.
The prerequisite for economic development is people.
When the Hoover Dam was built, tens of thousands of strong laborers worked on the dam every day. When did the Las Vegas economy start to develop rapidly, and the urban infrastructure was also established at that time.
This man needs to take shortcuts if he wants to achieve great success.
In the same way, if a city or a region wants to develop and achieve great results in a short period of time, it also needs to take a shortcut.
Americans are good at taking shortcuts. Similarly, the US government also likes to care about the gains and losses of temporary interests.
With the economic development of Las Vegas, some local businessmen saw the benefits of entertainment venues, so they opened illegal entertainment venues such as casinos and singing and dancing venues with gang leaders.
These illegal incomes not only make businessmen and gang organizations jealous, but also make the Nevada government jealous.
After the impact of early mining overexploitation, Nevada's original rich natural resources gradually shrunk. The mining industry gradually declined with the Great Depression, and fiscal revenue became a major headache for the state government.
After the construction of the Hoover Dam started, the Nevada state government, which was financially overwhelmed, saw that the illegal gambling business was making money, and immediately passed a bill to legalize gambling.
The legalization of gambling was an important foundation for Las Vegas to become the world's gambling city.
Due to the establishment of the Hoover Dam, the convenient transportation system, the legalization of gambling, and a series of resource conditions, Las Vegas ushered in unprecedented development at that time.
Rich people from nearby San Francisco, Los Angeles and major cities in California flocked to Las Vegas to spend a lot of money.
With more and more wealthy people patronizing, Las Vegas has ushered in unprecedented prosperity. Since the casino operation is supported by the state government, more and more local wealthy people have begun to play in Las Vegas. Gas opened a casino.
Before the 70s, the casino business in Las Vegas had always been jointly owned by black and white gangs. Gang members and local businessmen cooperated with each other and shared profits.
It's just this situation, with the development of the times, and the cake getting bigger and bigger, it is gradually being peeped by the major consortium companies from the outside world.
After entering 70 years, the black and white take-all method prevailing in Las Vegas casinos has begun to change.
The ownership of casinos in Las Vegas has gradually begun to be controlled by large consortium companies from the control of a few wealthy people and gang organizations.
The large consortium companies with strong funds have made the casinos in Las Vegas gradually get rid of the control and influence of gang organizations. The casino industry has transformed from an industry full of criminals to a formalized and commercialized one.
In a capitalist society, money represents everything.
The so-called gang organizations, except for the weird government of Mexico, in countries with a little social stability, gang organizations are not that great in front of big consortium companies.
The regularization of the gambling industry made Las Vegas take off the hat of the sin city, and affected by its special landform and special policy environment, the tourism industry in Las Vegas began to develop rapidly.
Although Las Vegas is famous as a gambling city in later generations, many tourists who come here do not come here purely for gambling.
Many tourists come here mainly because they are attracted by the special landform environment of Las Vegas.
Tourism in Las Vegas, in the 21st century, has become two major economic pillars alongside gaming.
Located on the edge of the desert, this village was originally an inconspicuous dilapidated village. In the 80s, it has become one of the four major gambling cities, attracting countless tourists and gamblers every year.
He has already experienced Haojiang Casino before, this Las Willis that only appeared in his mind and in the movies, this is the first time for Yang Chen to set foot.
Although the gang organizations in Las Vegas have been jointly suppressed by the consortium and the state government in recent years, the security problem has been greatly improved.
However, if we want to compare with the 21st century, there is still a certain distance.
For his own safety, Yang Chen is not only protected by the bodyguards from Junzi and his party from Xiangjiang, but also secretly protected by two security companies from the United States.
Long before coming to the United States, Yang Chen had already invested in security in several major countries in Europe and America, and selected several security companies with relatively large scales to invest in.
Regarding his own safety, Yang Chen felt that no matter how much money he spent, it was worth it. No matter how powerful Junzi and others were, but in a foreign country, a strong dragon would not overwhelm a local snake. This truth was known to everyone.
Private security companies are very common in European and American countries like the United States. With the services of security companies, many unnecessary troubles can be avoided to a large extent.
He is a very troublesome person.
According to his thinking, instead of taking chances and knowing how to spend money to solve troubles when something happens, it is better to spend money first to avoid unnecessary troubles.
The shooting cases of Laomei in later generations are not just literal numbers.
With a gun in hand, I have the world.
In this world, not only wine can strengthen courage.
With a knife and gun in hand, it can also have a cowardly effect.
What's more, in the United States, where everyone has a gun, there are generally fewer counselors.
He is a rich man worth billions of dollars, and he is still so young. If he is not famous, it will be fine, but his movie has just been released, his records are selling well, and his game consoles are selling well...
At this time, if he deliberately pretended to be low-key, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, he would only bring one or two bodyguards around to pretend to be aggressive.
Needless to say, anyone who encounters a little bit of courage and fat may give him a shot, 21 horror and a life-and-death escape.
Just thinking about it, it's sour and refreshing.
Chapter 595 Caesars Palace
Yang Chen is a person who died once in the true sense. He doesn't know if he has a third chance in his life.
He only knows that his current good life has just begun, and there are still decades in the future for him to enjoy life.
pretense things
he never bothered to do it
That kind of infinite consumption of the protagonist's aura is purely an act of death.
No matter how much luck this person has, there will be restrictions, and he will waste it blindly. If one day his luck is gone, he will belch away immediately if he is not sure.
'Pretending to be cool for a while, always pretending to be cool. '
But here comes the problem
