By Maryl Joop


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.

As Las Vegas grew through the mid nineteenth century, the presence of the spring produced oasis and its location between populated areas continued to be a driving factor in the small community's success. Upon receiving statehood in 1864 the Las Vegas Valley continued to grow and saw a major population boom with the introduction the railroad.

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.

Smart management entails proper communication and care with tenants. It is important to realize that they trust you to help them maintain a lifestyle that is acceptable. When they realize that you don't care, they will not care about the property near as much either. This can cause some problems that no landlord wants to deal with.

These individuals will be expecting landlords that understand their needs and who actually care. It is good etiquette and business practice to make sure that you are serving and taking care of all of your tenants as much as possible. This will only increase the value of your apartment in the end because people will remember what you did and will refer you online or with friends.
