 Las Vegas doesn't just dazzle and delight visitors, it inspires wonder. How did this once sleepy desert railroad town transform itself into a now overwhelming fun center of the world? And how does it continue to conjure up completely new entertainment concepts so quickly -- and so often?
The answer to these questions can be answered in a word: imagination. Almost from its founding days, Las Vegas' leaders imagined the city would become the world's playground -- and it did. People began to call Las Vegas "The Entertainment Capital of the World" long before it had really gained that status. But Las Vegas imagined it so, and the city became what it imagined.
