Understanding the history of an object, in this case a city, can provide interesting facts of how that object has evolved into its current state. The glittering neon lights and flashy spectacle's that make up the current core of the city of Las Vegas, Nevada, hold within them an intriguing history of growth and resources that all accumulated into what is witnessed today as one walks the strip of America's Playground.

In the year 1829, a youthful Spanish scout named Rafael Rivera who had wondered from his group entered a fertile valley in the midst of the American southwestern dessert and dubbed it Las Vegas, or "The Meadows." A literal oasis in the dessert, Las Vegas received its name from the young Spaniard because of the bubbling springs broke through the dry dessert crust to create lush green plant life that must of appeared as if it was a misplaced forest meadow.

1. No commitment

The Anasazi were an advanced pre-Colombian native culture whose housing structures that were carved out of dessert cliffs have become the site of fevered academic studies and a tourist hot spot. The Anasazi and other prominent Native American tribes used the springs found in the Las Vegas valley as their regular source for water.

2. Less responsibility

Location

While the springs made Vegas a perfect stop on the railway, it was the construction of a dam that turned Las Vegas into Sin City. The Hoover Dam, constructed between 1931 and 1935 brought thousands of workers to the region with money in their pockets and days off to burn.

Gambling was already legalized in the area at this point and the workers starved for entertainment solidified Vega's role as a city based in the gaming industry. The Las Vegas of today sports a bustling and growing population of not only tourists but permeate residences as well.

Your landlord most likely chips in to pay some of the cost of living in your space. Many landlords pay for water, heating, garbage disposal, yard maintenance and more. Some generous landlords will even pay for your cable and Internet. When you own a home, all of these bills come out of the woodwork and you're left spending a lot more than you might've imagined. So as a renter, cherish the things you don't have to worry about paying for.
