Chapter 611 Courage Artifact

Las Vegas is located in Nevada. It was founded in 1854 and opened in 1905.

When Las Vegas was first established, no one expected that it would become one of the four world-famous casinos in the future.

This later world's largest gambling city was first built next to the railway. It was just a small town with a small population in the beginning, and it was not officially established as a city until 1911.

Before the 1930s, gambling was explicitly prohibited in Las Vegas, and it had nothing to do with the world's casinos in later generations.

The initial development of Las Vegas mainly relied on gold and silver mining. During the mining process, Las Vegas absorbed a large number of people.

And these haven't caused many big changes in Las Vegas.

It was during the Great Depression of the United States in the 1930s that Las Vegas truly underwent earth-shaking changes and became a world-class casino.

In order to alleviate the economic crisis, the famous President Hoover launched a series of infrastructure construction and prepared to use domestic demand to alleviate the domestic economic recession.

During that period, the famous Hoover Dam fell right on top of Las Vegas.

When the Hoover Dam project started, the population of Las Vegas suddenly increased from only 5,000 citizens to more than 25,000, and the population increased several times.

The prerequisite for economic development is people.

At that time, the Hoover Dam was built, and tens of thousands of strong laborers worked on the dam every day. At that time, the economy of Las Vegas began to develop rapidly, and the urban infrastructure was also established at that time.

If this person wants to achieve great success, he needs to take shortcuts.

In the same way, if a city or a region wants to develop and achieve huge results in a short period of time, it also needs to take a shortcut.

Americans are good at taking shortcuts, and similarly, the U.S. government also likes to care about temporary gains and losses.

With the economic development of Las Vegas, some local businessmen saw the benefits of entertainment venues, so they teamed up with gang leaders to open illegal entertainment venues such as underground gambling venues and singing and dancing venues.

These illegally obtained monetary incomes not only make businessmen and gang organizations jealous, but also make the Nevada state government jealous.

After the impact of over-exploitation in the early mining industry, Nevada's originally rich natural resources gradually shrunk. The mining industry gradually declined with the Great Depression, and fiscal revenue became a major headache for the state government.

After the construction of the Hoover Dam began, the Nevada state government, which was overwhelmed by financial pressure, immediately passed legislation to legalize gambling after seeing the illegal gambling business making money.

The legalization of gambling was an important foundation for Las Vegas to become the world's gambling capital.

Due to the establishment of the Hoover Dam, the convenient transportation system, the legalization of gambling, and a series of resource conditions, Las Vegas ushered in unprecedented development at the time.

Rich people from nearby San Francisco, Los Angeles and major cities in California flock to Las Vegas to spend big bucks.

As more and more wealthy people visit Las Vegas, Las Vegas has ushered in unprecedented prosperity. Since casino operations are supported by the state government, more and more wealthy local people have begun to invest in Las Vegas.

Gas opened a casino.

Before the 1970s, the casino business in Las Vegas was jointly owned by the black and white gangs. Gang members and local businessmen cooperated with each other and shared profits.

It's just that this situation, as the times develop and the cake gets bigger and bigger, is gradually being watched by major consortium companies from the outside world.

In the 1970s, the black-and-white take-all approach that was prevalent in various casinos in Las Vegas began to change.

The ownership of casinos in Las Vegas has gradually begun to be controlled by large conglomerates from the control of a few wealthy individuals and gang organizations.

Large consortium companies with abundant funds have enabled Las Vegas casinos to gradually get rid of the control and influence of gang organizations. The casino industry has transformed from an industry filled with criminals to formalization and commercialization.

In a capital society, money means everything.

So-called gang organizations, except for the weird government like Mexico, in countries with a more stable society, gang organizations are not that great in front of large conglomerates.

The formalization of the gambling industry has made Las Vegas no longer known as a sin city. Influenced by its special landform and special policy environment, the tourism industry in Las Vegas has begun to develop rapidly.

Although Las Vegas is famous as a gambling city in later generations, many tourists who come here do not come just for gambling.

Many tourists come here mainly because of the special landforms and environment of Las Vegas.

The tourism industry in Las Vegas has become the two major economic pillars along with gambling in the 21st century.

Located on the edge of the desert, this village was originally an inconspicuous run-down village. In the 1980s, it had become one of the four major gambling cities, attracting countless tourists and gamblers every year.

He had already experienced Haojiang Casino before. Las Willis, which had only appeared in his mind in the movie, was the first time for Yang Chen to set foot.

Although gang organizations in Las Vegas have been jointly suppressed by consortiums and state governments in recent years, public security problems have been greatly improved.

However, there is still a certain distance when compared with the 21st century.

For his own safety, Yang Chen was not only protected by bodyguards from Junzi and his party from Xiangjiang, but also secretly protected by two security companies from the United States.

Long before coming to the United States, Yang Chen had already made security investments in several major European and American countries, and selected several relatively strong security companies to become shareholders.

Regarding his own safety, Yang Chen feels that no matter how much money he spends, it is worth it. No matter how powerful Jun Zi and others are, in a foreign country, strong dragons cannot overwhelm local snakes. Everyone knows this truth.

Private security companies are very common in European and American countries such as the United States. Having the services of a security company can avoid many unnecessary troubles to a large extent.

He is a very troublesome person.

According to his opinion, instead of taking chances and only spending money to solve the trouble when something happens, it is better to spend money first to avoid unnecessary trouble.

The shooting cases in the United States in later generations are not just literal numbers.

With a gun in hand, I have the world.

In this world, not only wine can make people bold.

Having a sword and gun in hand can also have the effect of emboldening people.

What's more, in the United States, where everyone has a gun, there are generally fewer cowards.

He is a rich man worth billions, and he is still so young. It would be fine if he was not famous, but his movie has just been released, his records are selling well, and his game consoles are selling like hotcakes...

At this time, if he deliberately pretends to be low-key, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and only brings one or two bodyguards around to show off.

Needless to say, anyone who encounters a bolder person may be given a trick, such as Twenty-One Shock and a life-and-death escape.

Just thinking about it, it's so sour and delicious.
