Here are three things you may not know about gambling in Nevada.

• In part, you have civil engineering to thank for the casinos of Las Vegas.

The legalization of gambling coincided with the construction of the Hoover Dam, 30 miles away.

• It’s not legal everywhere in the state.

Gambling is not legal in the cities of Panaca and Boulder City.

• A lot of people never go to Las Vegas on their trip to Vegas.

The Strip and McCarran Airport are in the unincorporated community of Paradise, Nevada.
