The City of Las Vegas: The Early Years

[High_Plains_Drifter]

I lived in Las Vegas from 1/1979 to 10/1983, and Reno for a brief period of time in 1987, and then again 7/2003 to 10/2007. NV is my second home away from WI. The state I've lived in more years other than Wisconsin. I like NV, but it's changed so much since even when I left Reno, mainly because of the mass exodus from CA people moving there, that I have no interest in it anymore.

But when I happened on this program about it's early years, once I started watching it I couldn't quit. As a history buff, this was just too engrossing to stop watching. It's just mind boggling how it sprung up so fast from nothing, a little dirt stop in the middle of nowhere, and it never stopped...
