Last week, we talked about how Vegas began as a humble, dusty railroad town, springing up from the desert floor with silent-era movie theaters, a raucous district of ill-repute, the first use of neon signage, and the building of the Hoover dam, the catalyst that would spur major development, Vegas had soared through the roaring teens and 20s and started to put itself on the map. But what was next? The 30s would see continued growth, including legalized gaming, the birth of the modern showroom and casino complex, and the continual inflow of Hollywood stars. The sun was rising on what would later become known as Sin City, and things were starting to get exciting.
