It is said that whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Would you believe that Las Vegas was once not even part of Nevada? Its true. Formed in great haste during the Civil War to help earn Abraham Lincoln a few extra electoral votes, the borders of Nevada were expanded east a few years after it attained statehood in 1864 to include what is now the Las Vegas metropolitan area. Known as the Silver State, Nevada has extensive mineral resources. Theses are, however, overshadowed by its gambling reputation. Gambling was legalized in the state to help drive population growth, as the total state population had dipped to only 77,000 in 1920. After a few decades of legalized sin, Nevadas population and economy boomed. Today, it is one of the fastest growing states in the nation, with a total citizen count of 2.6 million people. As far as politics goes, Nevada is evenly divided. It boasts the Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid. Despite recent setbacks, Nevadas population and economy will continue to grow and prosper in the future.
