75 Years

Happy Demisesquicentennial!

Seventy-five years ago, three things took place that would ultimately shape Las Vegas: the legalization of gambling, the beginning of construction on Hoover Dam and the loosening of divorce laws. The Weekly celebrates 1931's formulative events with different takes on these core developments: a list of gambling factoids, a profile of a playwright who's written a new play about dam workers, and a piece of fiction about divorce. Enjoy.
