The first modern man of European ancestry to set foot here was a scout named Rafael Rivera in 1829, he gave the city its name which is Spanish for 'the meadows'. By the early 20th century, Vegas was established as a railroad town and gambling was legalised here in March 1931. Attractions in this vibrant city include the Adventuredome theme park, Shark Reef and the Las Vegas Art Museum. Tourists are attracted here mainly because of the exciting lifestyle and casino gambling, however sights like the springs are also very popular.
