Las Vegas

The major attractions in Las Vegas are the casinos. The most famous hotels are located on Las Vegas Boulevard, better known as the Las Vegas Strip. Many of these hotels carry thousands of rooms. There are, of course, large casino areas in these hotels as well. There are many hotel casinos in the city's downtown area as well, which was the original focal point of the city's gaming industry in its early days. Several large hotels and casinos are also located somewhat off the Strip but adjacent to it, as well as in the county around the city.
Just a few other interesting facts about Las Vegas-Gambling was legalized in the city on March 19, 1931.
On December 26, 1946, Bugsy Siegel opened the infamous Flamingo Hotel in Paradise on what would later become the Las Vegas Strip.
The Hoover Dam was completed on October 9, 1936 outside of Boulder City and above ground nuclear testing was conducted at the Nevada Test Site in Nye County from 1951 to 1962. This informations was taken from WIkipedia.

So something random about me, my boyfriend is back from Japan. We have been dating for almost 3 years now and recently have been talking about marriage. First of all this is so awkward I feel like a kid still. The other thought I had run through my head was running off to Vegas! There is my bit about that. I'm not interested in the big wedding, and that is only saying if we do. Who knows?
