TAKING A DEEPER LOOK AT THE LAS VEGAS CULTURE

May 15, 2020 By Royal

By Juhllv

Did you know Las Vegas is one of the oldest cities in Nevada? The metropolis that we know and love today dates back hundreds of years, and this rich past is one of the reasons why Las Vegas has such a strong culture today. Let’s look at a brief history of Las Vegas and how our past has helped shape our present and future city.

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.”

Not a lot changed in the area until 1905 when railroads were built to connect the city with other surrounding areas like Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. With this new transportation, the city saw increased growth and it quickly grew as a mecca for entertainment. In 1931, when construction of the Hoover Dam began, even more people flocked to the convenient location and Fremont Street, and today’s Downtown Las Vegas was born.

Las Vegas Culture Today

Where we come from often shapes who we are today, and the city of Las Vegas is no exception. Our rich cultural history has been the springboard for countless arts and cultural endeavors, entertainment opportunities, businesses, and sports.

Sports

The past few years have been accelerating for the Las Vegas sports scene – and it’s no surprise, with our ideal climate and growing economy! From hockey games to rodeos, these are just a few of the notable sporting events in Las Vegas:

Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake, Miguel

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – There’s a reason why Bruno Mars is set to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show.

The pop crooner was in perfect form at the iHeartRadio music festival Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. He wowed with his slick moves and energetic vibe.

Justin Timberlake was also a fan favourite. The pop star closed the five-hour plus concert, singing hits like “Mirror” and “SexyBack.” Paul McCartney kicked off the show, playing a bunch of new songs from his upcoming album. And R&B singer Miguel and rapper Drake also earned cheers.

While men dominated Saturday, Ke$ha gave an impressive performance of her hits. She even brought out Joan Jett and the two sang “Bad Reputation.” But Miley Cyrus was building on her bad reputation: She caused a stir when she entered the stage in a fishnet dress and tape covering her nipples.

Maroon 5, Tim McGraw and Phoenix also performed on the second night of the two-day festival.
