las vegas casinos

Legalized gambling returned to Nevada during the Great Depression at the same time that work began on the Hoover Dam. The most notorious early hotel/casino to hit the strip in Las Vegas was the Flamingo, founded by known gangster, Bugsy Siegel. This was the first of many "family" run hotels/casinos in Las Vegas, the corruption of which was portrayed well in Martin Scorcese's smash-hit, Casino. The Las Vegas Casinos are now dominated by big businesses; such lucrative corporations as MGM, Hilton Hotels and the Mandalay Bay Resort Group.

Whereas the Las Vegas casinos began as simple casinos, they have evolved into mega-resorts, containing everything from grand theatres, to zoos, to circuses, to theme parks. The goal of these casinos is to provide enough action and activity to keep patrons there throughout their entire time in Las Vegas.

A few of the more popular hotel/resort/casinos that Las Vegas has to offer are as follows:

-Bally's
-Bellagio
-Cesar's Palace
-Circus Circus
-Hard Rock Hotel
