Sobre este título
Las Vegas is a city of reinvention—born from desert silence, electrified by ambition, and immortalized in neon. From its Indigenous roots and railroad birth to the mob era, mega-resorts, and cultural awakening, this immersive nonfiction narrative traces the evolution of America’s most paradoxical metropolis.
In ten cinematic chapters, author Derek Monaghan explores the forces that shaped Las Vegas: the power of Hoover Dam, the glamour and grit of the Rat Pack, the rise of unions and workers behind the scenes, and the city’s transformation into a global hub for entertainment, sports, and innovation. With vivid storytelling and historical clarity, Monaghan reveals the human spirit behind the spectacle—and the resilience that keeps Las Vegas reinventing itself.
Whether you're a history lover, traveler, or curious dreamer, this book offers a fresh lens on a city that defies expectation and thrives on possibility.
