Poverty and luxury of Las Vegas Unites States

May15, 1905 an unremarkable auction was holden. As a result a nabsolutely useless piece of desert, located in Nevada United States ,was bought fora pittan ce. Six years later, when th erewas fixed a railway station in Las Vegas, it became a town. But yetfor very long time the future capital of American gambling businessdragged out a miserable existence in the United States . Forlong time Las Vegas continued to be an unimportant town, where, as everywhere else in Nevada UnitedStates, gambling was little spread. The town was waiting for hisboss. It was Benjamin Zigelbaum, a scoundrel, nicknamed Bugsy Siegel. Thenature joined in Siegel features of a rascal with a human charm andeven with a certain decency in a family life. Of course, sometimesthere was talk about his gangster deals but nobody knew anythingcertain. The question "What do you do?" was replied “I ama sportsman” with a disarming smile. In early 1945, Segal wanted toexpand the business in the United States. He decided that playersmust gather in luxurious casinos like in Monte Carlo (he read aboutit somewhere). And the casinos must be much more chic than in distantEurope! Learning the map of Nevada (United States) Siegel jabbed hisfinger at random in Las Vegas. Thus the history of the famous LasVegas zone in the United States has begun. More than 70 stylishcasinos, countless number of simpler gaming pavilions, luxury hotels,among which there are the biggest in the world MGM for 5005 rooms andthe most expensive «El Wynn», where a room is a million of dollars.There are also plenty of rooms for shows, festivals and galaconcerts. The scale of this universal breadth is eloquentlydemonstrated by the fact that the City of Sin in the United States,as Las Vegas is called, gobbles more electricity than the entireindustry of France. Itmust be said that the sin here is quite regulated, its boundaries aredelineated by the formula «gambling, drinking and sex».
