Today’s Las Vegas welcomes 35 million visitors a year and reigns as the world’s premier gaming mecca. But it is much more than a gambling paradise. In A Short History of Las Vegas, Barbara and Myrick Land reveal a fascinating history beyond the mobsters, casinos, and showgirls. The authors present a complete story, beginning with southern Nevada’s indigenous peoples and the earliest explorers to the first pioneers to settle in the area; from the importance of the railroad and the construction of Hoover Dam to the arrival of the Mob after World War II; from the first isolated resorts to appear in the dusty desert to the upscale, extravagant theme resorts of today. Las Vegas—and its history—is full of surprises. The second edition of this lively history includes details of the latest developments and describes the growing anticipation surrounding the Las Vegas centennial celebration in 2005. New chapters focus on the recent implosions of famous old structures and the construction of glamorous new developments, headline-making mergers and multibillion-dollar deals involving famous Strip properties, and a concluding look at what life is like for the nearly two million residents who call Las Vegas home.

Beyond the bright lights of one of the city's fastest growing metropolitan areas is some of the most rugged, beautiful, and remote country around. This comprehensive hiking guide features more than 100 hikes within a three-hour drive of the Las Vegas Strip. Popular destinations such as Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, Death Valley, and Mt. Charles are covered, as well as lesser-known areas such as Anniversary Narrows, Arrow Canyon, Bowl of Fire, and the Wee Thump Joshua Tree Wilderness. This second edition includes new trips in Death Valley, Hamblin Mountain on North Shore Lake Mead, Virgin Peak, Potosi Mtn, and Clark Mountain in Mojave National Reserve. Each trip showcases the diversity of this region, from the geological wonders and rare life forms surviving in Mojave National Preserve to ancient petroglyphs. The hikes range from easy strolls to challenging treks and include distance, time, elevation change, difficulty, and trail-use notes. A custom map accompanies every description, and GPS waypoints are given for key locations.

Through a stunning collection of historical and modern photographs, "Under the Cottonwoods" celebrates Las Vegas' humble beginnings, including the people, places and events that have inspired and shaped the city's history. Las Vegas began on the banks of the Las Vegas Creek, a perennial stream fed by three artesian springs. The flow from these springs sustained Las Vegas' first inhabitants and gave birth to a world-renowned city. From early ranches and the railroad to the beginning of the resort industry, the Las Vegas Springs supported a thriving community. The springs flow stopped in 1962 due to the growing population and increased use. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978, the 180-acre Springs Preserve is known as the birth place of Las Vegas and represents one of the richest and most unique cultural and biological resources in Southern Nevada. "Under the Cottonwoods" explores the dynamic role this area has played in Las Vegas history.

While the Western United States offers a great deal of incredible canyoneering opportunities, it would be difficult to find a single area with the same diversity of technical canyons as those found in Southern Nevada. In the Black Canyon below Hoover Dam, dry desert canyons dive down towards hot spring oases and the Lower Colorado River. On the other side of Las Vegas the famous sandstone bluffs of Red Rock Canyon rise out of the valley with tight and twisting water filled canyons carved in between that rival the slot canyons of Utah in excitement and beauty. Towering behind those bluffs, high on Mount Charleston, cold alpine canyons can be with found where powerful water currents fall through polished limestone in the spring. With descriptions of more than 40 technical canyons and over a dozen non-technical canyons from the outskirts of Las Vegas, the Black Canyon, Red Rocks, Mount Charleston, the Virgin River Gorge, and into Central Nevada, this book offers opportunity for adventure and beauty for almost any skill level of canyoneer at any time of the year. Route descriptions include over a hundred color pictures, detailed access and approach directions, technical canyon beta, rappel lengths, topographic maps and other useful information. During his time in Las Vegas, Rick Ianniello spent his free time scanning topo maps and satellite images before taking to the Mohave desert and exploring canyons with who ever would go along. Rick and his friends found dozens of exciting and scenic technical canyons, most of which were previously undescended. This book is a collection of the best of those canyons.

The meteoric rise of Las Vegas from a remote Mormon outpost to an international entertainment center was never a sure thing. In its first decades, the town languished, but when Nevada legalized casino gambling in 1931, Las Vegas met its destiny. This act—combined with the growing popularity of the automobile, cheap land and electricity, and changing national attitudes toward gambling—led to the fantastic casinos and opulent resorts that became the trademark industry of the city and created the ambiance that has made Las Vegas an icon of pleasure. This volume celebrates the city’s unparalleled growth, examining both the development of its gaming industry and the creation of an urban complex that over two million people proudly call home. Here are the colorful characters who shaped the city as well as the political, business, and civic decisions that influenced its growth. The story extends chronologically from the first Paiute people to the construction of the latest megaresorts, and geographically far beyond the original township to include the several municipalities that make up today’s vast metropolitan Las Vegas area.
