230: Las Vegas -- the glitzy city in the desert. Where did this crazy town come from and how did it develop?

from Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill · host Pigweed and Crowhill

P&C drink and review a homebrew IPA, then discuss this weird place in the middle of the desert. How did a town founded by the Mormons becomes known for gambling? Why did a city spring up in that location? How did it develop? How did it take on some of its unique characteristics? Why did it get associated with prostitution, easy marriage, and divorce? Along with special guest Longinus, the boys discuss the history and development of this strange town, and how it became the city we have today. Why did it shift from a western town with cowboy themes to more of a Miami-like, resort feel? And when did the mob get involved?
