TAKING A DEEPER LOOK AT THE LAS VEGAS CULTURE

A Brief History of Las Vegas

There were Native American civilizations in the Las Vegas area for nearly as long as records date back, with the Paiute tribe being the primary residents. The first European settler was Rafael Rivera, who visited what is now Las Vegas on his trek from New Mexico to California. In 1821, he named the area Las Vegas, meaning “the meadows.”
