A Cartographic Journey Through Las Vegas History Tracing the Las Vegas Landscape Through Maps Part 2 By: Su Kim Chung & Kathy Rankin, University of Nevada, Las Vegas [Editor’s note: larger, color versions of the figures can be viewed at www.waml.org]

The Dam’s construction was only one of the landmark events to change Las Vegas in the 1930s. The legalization of gambling in March 1931 was to prove an even more significant development whose ramifications would dramatically change the landscape of the city of Las Vegas and its surrounding area. With legalization came the gambling halls of that attracted both tourists and dam workers alike to the rapidly growing desert town, as did the liberal marriage and divorce laws of Nevada.

In the early years following legalization, most gambling establishments were located on ; only the proprietor of the Meadows Casino was brave enough to locate his upscale casino on Boulder Highway near the intersection of Fremont and Charleston. In 1941, the construction of the first ho- tel/casino resort on Highway 91 just south of the city limits -- the -- would forever change the city’s destiny. Although some questioned the wisdom of building this far out of the city limits, just one year later, the Last Frontier Hotel/Casino, with its motto of “the early west in modern splendor,” was constructed on this same stretch of desert road leading into California. In 1946, an even grander resort, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel’s Flamingo (originally begun by The Hollywood Reporter’s Billy Wilkerson), was constructed on Highway 91, further south of both the El Rancho Vegas and the Last Frontier. Although some of its notoriety came as a result of its connection to Siegel and other organized crime figures (who took control of the casino after Siegel was gunned down in in June 1947), its resort-style elegance set it apart from its western-themed predecessors.

A map from July 1947 created by the Porter & White Agency (Figure 1) clearly shows how the city had embraced tourism as its lifeblood. The map shows the city of Las Vegas, a small portion of Highway 91, and some portions west of the railroad tracks including the site of the original McWilliams town site. As a traveler’s map, it is littered with advertisements for air-cooled motels and auto courts, restaurants, and service stations, and befitting Las Vegas’ reputation, justices of the peace. Surprisingly, the map does little to promote gambling beyond the ads for the Monte Carlo Club, the , the Sal Sagev, and the Last Frontier, only the last of which actually lists the word “casino” on its advertisement. Instead, the map seeks to portray the civic virtues of the city, as it includes a directory of Las Vegas service clubs, and notes the following in the map’s inset: “Las Vegas is a city of fine resort hotels and casinos. It is a city of fine homes, churches and schools. Every opportunity for urban and metropoli- tan life is afforded within the city and on its guest and cattle ranches within a few miles of downtown Fremont.” Interestingly enough, what has been left out of this map is almost as interesting as what has been left in. Perhaps more a reflection of who paid for the privilege of advertising in the map, it still remains curious that three of the most prominent hotels of this era – Highway 91’s El Rancho Vegas and the newly-opened Flamingo, and downtown’s – do not merit a mention.

The opening of additional hotel/casino resorts on Highway 91 continued apace as Las Vegas entered the 1950s, with each new hotel seeming grander than the last. By decade’s end, the addition of the , Sahara, Sands, Riviera, , Tropicana, and Stardust hotels had transformed a dusty stretch of highway just outside of the city limits into the world-famous . Other events were transforming the as well. Continued population growth resulted (much of it spillover from personnel stationed at Nellis Air Force Base) in the construction of new tract housing that spilled out from the city of Las Vegas into unincorporated areas of the valley. The city’s rapid popula- tion growth also made possible a number of civic developments including the construction of Nevada Southern University, the first institution of higher education in southern Nevada, later rechristened as the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

The 1950s also ushered in the era of atomic testing at the Nevada Test Site (located on a portion of the bombing range at Nellis) whose proximity to Las Vegas not only boosted the local economy and popula- tion, but also proved to be an added tourist attraction for Strip hotels. Although attracting tourists to the Strip had become a top priority, concern with widening the town’s economic base beyond the tourism industry also led city officials to pursue the idea of constructing a convention center to attract the busi- ness of America’s growing “meeting industry.” (Moehring, 2000)

The growth of Las Vegas as a tourist destination as well as its significant population expansion during this decade ensured that map production was plentiful in the 1950s as evidenced by the fact that UNLV

Las Vegas Through Maps 110 WAML Information Bulletin 39(3) July 2008

Special Collections holds some thirty-five maps from this time period. A home-site lands map of the Las Vegas Valley from 1955 (Figure 2) provides a contemporary look at land distribution, illustrating how much land was either in private hands, classified for small tracts and available for filing, leased or

figure 2 under lease application, or listed as vacant federal land. Interestingly, one of the largest tracts of land in private hands is just west of the city, and is marked Husite, for its owner, Howard Hughes, who intended to move his Hughes Aircraft operations there in the early 1950s (this would later become the Hughes Corporation’s massive Summerlin development). What is perhaps most significant about this map is that it shows how the locus of development has shifted southward from the city of Las Vegas to the area surrounding Highway 91 or what was rapidly developing into the Las Vegas Strip. Published in 1955, the map features all the major resort hotels of the day, including the three that opened that year: the Dunes, , and Riviera, as well as McCarran Field, which had moved to this southerly location in

111 Las Vegas Through Maps WAML Information Bulletin 39(3) July 2008

1948. The appearance of major roads such as Desert Inn, Flamingo, and Bond (later Tropicana) in a corridor leading east from the Strip also shows the early direction of development in the unincorporated areas of the valley. The fact that the railroad continued to be a prominent feature of the landscape in the 1950s, along with a number of dude ranches and mines, indicates that there was still something of a frontier quality about the Las Vegas Valley, but there can be no mistaking the prominence that has been accorded to the new corridor of hotels lining Highway 91.

figure 3

A Campbell Realty Company map of Greater Las Vegas from 1957 (Figure 3) provides an even more detailed look at the growth of the Las Vegas metropolitan area during the 1950s. The Strip area is shaded green, its glamorous resort hotels winding the length of Highway 91, along with some two dozen motels and a number of service stations clustered near the newly christened McCarran Airport, giving some indication as to the relative importance of both air and automobile traffic to the Las Vegas tour- ist trade. Yet the map is far more important for what it can tell us about the area’s civic development outside of the Las Vegas Strip. Distributed by the Chamber of Commerce, the map features an index listing buildings that house churches (over 50!), schools (28), recreational facilities, utilities, banks, hospitals, public facilities, service clubs, and fraternal organizations. Photographs of nearby recreational and tourist attractions such as Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, and Red Rock, are shown side-by-side with images of a large, luxurious ranch style home and a thriving industrial plant, with nary a casino in sight. The city of Las Vegas, not surprisingly, shows the most residential development and North Las Vegas, incorporated just eleven years earlier in 1946, has also expanded dramatically. The growth of residential developments in the unincorporated portions to the north and south of the city’s boundaries also shows

Las Vegas Through Maps 112 WAML Information Bulletin 39(3) July 2008 the effects of the era’s population expansion. Yet another indication of the growing importance of these areas is the fact that two of the decade’s most significant civic advancements – the Convention Center and Nevada Southern University – are situated in the unincorporated areas of Winchester and Paradise respectively.

As Las Vegas moved into the 1960s, its population growth continued unabated as did its popularity as a resort and gambling destination. Its origins as a railroad staging town seemed long forgotten. On the Strip, this was the era of the Rat Pack and the Sands Summit, and of glamorous production shows where statuesque showgirls reigned supreme. Major building projects included the construction of and Circus Circus on the Strip, and the International and Landmark just off the Strip on Paradise Road. This resort growth, in turn, spurred expansion of the suburbs east of the Strip, and throughout the decade, the major growth areas would be the unincorporated townships east of the Strip. In Resort City in the Sunbelt, Eugene Moehring points out some of the startling population trends that characterized this decade, noting that the valley’s development had qualified it as a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA), and that between 1960 and 1970, the Las Vegas SMSA experienced a 115 percent increase in population from 127,016 to 273, 288. During this time, the city of Las Vegas also saw its population increase some 94 percent from 64,605 to 125,787; at the same time, the availability of large tracts of land for shopping centers, office parks and residential developments in the unincorporated areas south of the city was responsible for the decentralization of business away from downtown Las Vegas, again serving to accelerate the suburban trend. (Moehring, 2000, p. 108)

The verso of a 1960 Las Vegas tourist map sponsored by the Key Motel chain (Figure 4) was but one of many forums used to promote the area’s population growth. An outline map of the United States is depicted under the heading “all roads lead to Las Vegas” with distances from various US cities to Las Vegas noted, and the words “population explosion” captioned under the large star symbol marking its location in the state. Likewise, an advertisement for Ranch Club Estates urgently proclaims: “Las Vegas Land Boom! – This may be your last opportunity to invest for profit – security – income.” Physically, the Las Vegas area appears little changed from its depiction in the Campbell Realty Company map of 1957, and like the former, its main focus seems to be the promotion of tourist attractions other than gambling. Natural wonders such as Lake Mead, Mount Charleston, and Zion are enthusiastically de- scribed, as is the Twin Lakes Lodge (the former Lorenzi Park) – “the Oasis of Las Vegas – Nevada’s All Year Dude Ranch” that is “steeped in the lore of Nevada and its history.” The entire map, in fact, has a distinctly Western feel to it, from the sketches of cowboys, horses, and lassos sprinkled throughout the advertisements to the political endorsement of Constable W.W. “Woody” Cole which depicts him in Western garb. Reinforcing this down-home image are the advertisements that encircle the map itself; there are no explicit references to gambling or casinos, instead there are ads promoting such mundane services as baby sitting, insurance sales, dry cleaning, restaurants, and pest control. The most dramatic advertisement is a photograph of the new $6,500,000 Las Vegas Convention Center proclaiming it to be “The World’s Great New Convention Center” and “so far ahead it will always be new.” Yet even this ad, which declares “conventions are exciting in Las Vegas” provides no further enticement, only the subheading noted under the words “The Strip” on the map itself that describes it as the “show place of the nation.”

113 Las Vegas Through Maps WAML Information Bulletin 39(3) July 2008

figure 4

The phrase “show place of the nation” was also used to describe the Strip in a Front Boy Service Co. general map and street guide of Greater Las Vegas (Figure 5) produced in 1968, but like the Key Mo- tel-sponsored map, there are no explicit references to gambling or casinos. Although it notes all major Strip casino/hotels as well as golf courses, it is anything but a typical tourist map; as a detailed street map, it provides a clear portrait of the area’s extraordinary growth during the 1960s. Densely drawn, it features all existing streets and subdivisions, but is unique in that it also shows topographical features and township and range information. Perhaps most importantly, the map chronicles the rapid growth of unincorporated areas such as Paradise Valley and east Las Vegas, and shows how development was beginning to spread westward from the Strip, but only in the area bound by Sahara and Spring Mountain Road. Beyond the increase in the number of subdivisions in the unincorporated areas, the appearance of municipal amenities such as parks, public pools, and schools in these areas also provides evidence of suburban growth. Other changes in the Las Vegas landscape are captured as well: the construction of Interstate 15, and the transformation of Avenue and Bond Road into Sahara Avenue and Tropicana Road respectively. The 1960s most notable additions to the Strip -- Caesars Palace, Circus Circus and the Aladdin – are marked on the map as are the International and the Landmark on nearby Paradise Road.

Design-wise, this Front Boy map is worthy of commentary, as its stark, utilitarian appearance belies the playful touch of a designer who has scattered all manner of whimsical quotes and comments throughout the map. These range from the platitudes of unknown persons – “a good conscience is a soft pillow,” to folksy sentiments from local notables such as Ralph Lamb (Las Vegas Sheriff at the time) – “the deeper the furrow, the straighter the stalk” to deadpan comments such as “road-checking in this area is more for general information rather than Front Boy’s amusement.” In a similar vein, the map’s cartouche features

115 Las Vegas Through Maps WAML Information Bulletin 39(3) July 2008

flowery sentiments, describing Las Vegas as “the most colorful city of them all” and North Las Vegas as the “city of progress.” Of the Paradise Valley area, the designer exclaims “may it bloom like a rose forever.” The quotes and comments were the work of Russell Meador, a retired USGS cartographer, who founded the Front Boy Service Co. in the 1950s while he was still working as a “front boy” or bell hop on the Las Vegas Strip.

1970s

Las Vegas entered the 1970s on an optimistic note with expansion and growth the watchword for both the city and surrounding areas. Downtown was revitalized with the construction of an $8.5 million city government complex, and the expansion of the Clark County courthouse. In addition, the downtown skyline was to change dramatically with the addition of the Union Plaza and California Hotels, and the expansion of the Fremont, , Golden Nugget and Mint hotels. Within the city’s western boundaries, the opening of the Meadows Shopping Mall in 1978 was another significant building project that demonstrated response to the needs of area residents rather than tourists.

On the Strip, the opening of the $100 million, 2,089 room MGM Grand Hotel in 1973 set the tone, with nearly every major resort property including Caesars Palace, Circus Circus, Riviera, Aladdin, Desert Inn, Tropicana, Dunes, Stardust, Silverbird, Flamingo Hilton and Sahara undergoing expansion and renovation during this decade. The development of the unincorporated areas of Las Vegas, in particular, Paradise Valley, continued apace with the $23 million expansion of McCarran International Airport, a major expansion of the Convention Center, and the addition of three new buildings to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus, most notably, the Artemus Ham Concert Hall, which proved to be a great boon to the cultural life of Las Vegas.

Yet even as corporate and commercial development changed the face of the Las Vegas landscape, it was residential construction that made the 1970s a record decade for southern Nevada’s construction and real estate markets. As noted in a Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce publication for 1980, between January 1970 and December 1979, housing units grew from 87,000 to 150,000. (Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce, 1980, p. 26). And for the first time, growth wasn’t just limited to the east of the Strip either with completion of Interstate 15 in the early 1970s serving to promote increased development to the west of the city and the Strip.

A portrait of the Las Vegas landscape at the beginning of this momentous decade can be observed in a map published by H.M. Gousha in 1971. (Figure 6) Major changes from the late 1960s are reflected on the map: McCarran Airport has become McCarran International Airport and Nevada Southern has shrugged off its poor stepchild status and is now labeled as the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The area marked “Paradise Valley” shows the growth in residential development on the eastern side of the Strip while commercial development of note includes a number of downtown properties such as the Union Plaza Hotel, Cashman Field, and Elks Stadium. There still is little or no development south of Spring Mountain Road, however, and portions of Interstate 15 are not yet complete in the north. As befits a map of the Las Vegas “community,” it labels libraries and schools throughout the metropolitan area and the Lake Mead Recreation area takes up the entire verso portion of the map.

Las Vegas Through Maps 116 WAML Information Bulletin 39(3) July 2008

figure 6 The full version of this map is not available via www.waml.org due to copyright restrictions. By 1979, a CreaTours Inc. map of Greater Las Vegas (published in conjunction with the North Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce) (Figure 7) shows the development, both commercial and residential, that has stretched the boundaries of the Las Vegas metropolitan area. It is bounded by Lone Mountain to the north, Rainbow to the west, Nellis to the east, and ends at Sunset Road just past McCarran Airport to the south. Development in the northeast and southwest is still sparse with the greatest concentration of streets located in the city of Las Vegas and unincorporated townships of Paradise and Winchester. Touted as the “world’s largest postcard” the map is geared towards tourists, showing recent developments on the Strip such as the Silverbird which has replaced the Thunderbird, and Bob Stupak’s casino, which opened in 1979 at the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sahara. It also includes a ring of advertisements on the verso for tourist attractions listing helicopter rides and boat rentals, restaurants and shows such as the Folies Bergere. No less than ten golf courses (with five attached to country clubs) appear on the map with half of them congregated in the corridor along the Strip.

The verso of the map features an illustration of the Las Vegas Valley showing the Lake Mead by noted local artist and photographer Cliff Segerblom The illustration, taking a bit of artistic license, provides a bird’s eye view of the highways, mountains, bodies of water, along with parts of Arizona and Utah, and the Nevada Test Site. The map also shows how cultural activities have become part of the Las Vegas community with the Las Vegas Art Museum and Meadows Playhouse plot- ted alongside casinos and shopping centers such as the Boulevard and the newly-constructed Meadows Shopping Center. As with earlier maps of Las Vegas, a listing of Clark County schools (growing ever larger) can also be found on this side of the map.

1980s

Las Vegas entered the 1980s on a tragic note, when a fire at the MGM Grand Hotel in November 1980 took the lives of 85 people. Just three months later, in February 1981, a fire at the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel would claim the lives of eight more people. The resulting fire and safety building code changes (some of the strictest in the US) would affect all new construction in Las Vegas. Growth-wise, the plethora of residential construction that had pushed the boundaries of the Las Vegas metropolitan area further outward throughout the 1970s took a definite downturn in the early 1980s. High inflation had resulted in increased costs for materials and labor, and as a result, residential construction slowed dramatically. Commercial ventures, however, such as hotels, office buildings, and shopping centers, would continue to spur construction upward and onward throughout the decade. These types of projects continued to flourish west of the Strip, particularly along the Flamingo Corridor from Interstate 15 to Rainbow Bou- levard, and near the West Sahara Corridor. As the decade progressed, large-scale residential construction projects began to gain steam again, with developments such as the Lakes at West Sahara, Spanish Trail Country Club, and Green Valley South stretching the western and southern portions of the Las Vegas Valley. Perhaps the most significant residential construction project of the 1980s, however, was the development of some 25,000 acres of vacant land owned by Howard Hughes Properties on the extreme west end of the Las Vegas Valley. Known as the “Husite Project” it involved the development of mixed- use residential, retail and commercial land into a “new satellite community” (First Interstate Bank, Las Vegas Review Journal and Nevada Development Authority, 1989).

The end of the decade also saw the most significant Strip development in years with the construction of Steve Wynn’s Mirage on the north end of Las Vegas Boulevard. Wynn’s renovation of the old Golden Nugget Hotel on Fremont Street in the early 1980s had turned it into a first-class property, and he propelled this success into the construction of . The luxurious, south-sea themed-hotel casino was the first major luxury resort to be built on the Strip in decades. Its success was not only the impetus for the wave of new hotel construction that swept the Strip in the 1990s, but also served to set the standard for the modern Las Vegas hotel-casino resort.

The street map of greater Las Vegas, Nevada, published by Front Boy Service Co. in 1984 (Figure 8) shows the growth in the western part of the Las Vegas Valley and the development of Green Valley to the south. Gone are the comments on roads and flowery statements about the cities as the rapid growth of the Las Vegas area has left little room for quotes and comments on this edition of the Front Boy map.

A fun map from Travel Graphics International published in 1987 (Figure 9) takes artistic license with its bird’s eye view pictorial map of the Strip and the surrounding area. Hotels and attractions around Las Vegas are shown as cartoon characters and fun historical facts are included to make the map entertaining for tourists -- demonstrating that even a cartoon map can reveal insights into Las Vegas history! Here we see the Strip landscape at a momentous time in the late 1980s just before the great boon in hotel construction that would change Las Vegas forever. Of particular interest on the north end of the Strip is the sign for the – only two years later Steve Wynn would transform the Strip on this same spot by opening the Mirage – the first of the great mega-resorts of the 1990s Vegas-building boom.

1990s

121 Las Vegas Through Maps WAML Information Bulletin 39(3) July 2008

The 1990s were a history-making decade for the Las Vegas metropolitan area. From spectacular themed- resort hotels springing up along the Strip, to “locals” casinos sprouting up all over the Las Vegas Valley, to housing developments spreading in all directions, and a population that grew by 55%, Las Vegas made headlines throughout the decade. Dazzling new hotels and a “family friendly” climate (exemplified by the MGM Grand’s Theme Park and the Excalibur Hotel/Casino) served to attract record numbers of tourists – from 20,954,240 in 1990, annual visitor statistics would increase to 35,849,691 by decade’s end (Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority). The population growth from 1990 to 1998 was of particular significance, marking Las Vegas as the fastest growing metropolitan area in the United States according to the U.S. Census in 2000.

Spurred on by the success of the Mirage, a string of themed resorts opened up on or near the Strip throughout the decade ranging from at the far south end of the Strip to the Stratosphere Tower at the far north end of Las Vegas Boulevard just within the city limits. From size to theme to amenities, each successive Las Vegas hotel casino resort constructed in the 1990s seemed to trump the one that opened before it. These newer and grander hotel-casino resorts also changed both the land- scape and the skyline of the Las Vegas Strip, from the mammoth new MGM Grand with its 5000 rooms to the Manhattan skyline of the New York New York Hotel Casino to the sprawling lake bordering the to the faux Eiffel Tower attached to the Paris Hotel Casino, Strip architecture went both up and out. Notably, implosions destroyed some of the hotels that had been part of the first wave of Strip development in the 1950s; the Hacienda gave way to Mandalay Bay’s golden tower, the Dunes and its golf course to the Bellagio and its $10 million water show, while the site of the legendary Sands was transformed into a Venetian palazzo. In addition, with their flashy neon signs, both the Hard Rock Hotel Casino and the colorful Rio Hotel Casino demonstrated that casinos off the Strip could be just as popular and profitable.

If the fantastical growth of the Strip in the 1990s was what attracted popular media attention to Sin City, it was the residential growth that attracted more in-depth attention as it expanded in all directions in an attempt to keep pace with the tremendous population growth of the Las Vegas metropolitan area. The “Husite Project” in the northwest, renamed Summerlin, was probably the most ambitious development completed in the 1990s. More than just a master-planned community, with its shopping, cultural, and entertainment amenities (including a locals casino) it has come to be thought of as almost a suburb of Las Vegas. In addition, housing developments such as MacDonald Ranch and Anthem expanded south into Henderson while other construction ventured further into North Las Vegas towards Lone Mountain Road. Construction off the Strip was not just limited to housing developments, however, as “locals” casinos expanded north with Santa Fe and in North Las Vegas, east onto Boulder Highway with and south into Henderson with Sunset Station and the Reserve. The construction of shopping facilities also followed residential building patterns with the Sunset Galleria Mall in Hen- derson to the southeast and the Beltz Factory Outlet Mall on south Las Vegas Boulevard near Warm Springs Road.

The growth of the Las Vegas area was so significant during the 1990s that the Advanced Planning Divi- sion of Clark County’s Department of Comprehensive Planning created a map (Figure 10) illustrating the proposed metropolitan Las Vegas development area that also depicted the urban growth boundary for the city of Las Vegas.

Less than a map and more than a photograph, the Las Vegas atlas series created by Landiscor Aerial Information (Figure 11) has been a mainstay of those researching property and title information on Las Vegas property since the 1980s. One side is an aerial photograph with street, freeway, and building names superimposed on it, while the verso of each page is a traditional map of the same area with zoning information and average daily traffic counts. The page shown here from a 1996 Landiscor atlas shows the density of development revealed in the aerial photograph and features Desert Shores and Sun City Las Vegas, two of the larger residential communities constructed to house the growing number of families and retirees (respectively) that made the move to Las Vegas during the 1990s.

A MapEasy map from 1997 (Figure 12) shows some of the major properties that defined the new wave of Strip and off-Strip construction in the 1990s: Stratosphere, MGM Grand, New York New York, Hard Rock and Rio. The Bellagio is shown as under construction at the time. The map also notes the impor- tance of the retail trade to tourism as it indicates the location of new shopping areas such as the Beltz Outlet Mall (now Las Vegas Outlet Mall) and the newly-constructed Forum Shops at Caesars Palace

2000s

As Las Vegas moved into the 21st century, its growth continued unabated. Even after the economic slump following 9/11, construction continued and the Las Vegas metropolitan area expanded in all directions, growing ever closer to the Black Mountains near Henderson, and to the mountains in the southwest near the Southern Highlands development. Even Red Rock Canyon, once surrounded by desert, now finds housing developments and a hotel casino at its doorstep. In the early part of the decade, Las Vegas housing developments continued to go up at breakneck pace and as a result, streets were added monthly and published maps struggled to keep up with the developments. Developments such as Aliante, Iron Mountain Ranch, Tuscany, Nevada Trails, Providence, Mountain Edge, and Inspirada represented typi- cal large-scale residential development constructed in the early part of the 2000s.

In addition to this traditional type of housing, however, a significant trend during the 2000s has been the construction of high-rise condos on or near the Strip --- the “Manhattanization of Las Vegas.” A dearth of available land both on the Strip and in some outlying areas made high-rise and mid-rise condo towers the trend in building and by 2007, nine such developments had opened. Although many others were planned, they never got off the ground due to financing and construction issues; several projects are under construction as of this writing and should open by the end of the decade resulting in a dramatic change in the skyline of the Las Vegas metropolitan area. (Murad, 2005)

On the Strip, the building of themed, megaresort casinos slowed down in the early part of the decade. The opening of Steve Wynn’s eponymous resort in 2005 was the first major Strip hotel/casino opening since the Aladdin in 2000, but has since been followed by several major Strip casino resort develop- ments (City Center and Fountainbleu) which are still under construction as this article goes to press. As always, the construction of Strip resorts has been preceded by implosions, and the 2000s saw the demise of several historic and long-standing properties: the Desert Inn, Boardwalk, Westward Ho, Stardust and New Frontier.

The growth of casino resorts off the Strip has been much more pronounced and seemed to follow the growth of residential development to some degree. Off Strip, the Palms just opposite the Rio on Fla- mingo was the first major hotel/casino to open in 2001, and its efforts to combine a locals casino with hip nightspots made it a success even in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. Others such as the Casino Montelago at , the Suncoast in Summerlin, in Henderson, Red Rock Station and South Point were much farther from the Strip but closer to the residential developments that have spread out in all directions from the original city center of Las Vegas. Another residential trend in the first decade of the 21st century has been the creation of what has been termed the “metropolitan lifestyle center” – a development that combines shops, restaurants, condos, services, and office space in a pedestrian- friendly environment. Examples of such lifestyle centers include the District near Green Valley Ranch Station in Henderson and the newly-constructed Town Square on the South Strip.

The 2000s have also been characterized by a strong drive to revitalize downtown by bringing din-

125 Las Vegas Through Maps WAML Information Bulletin 39(3) July 2008 ing, shopping and living spaces to what had become an increasingly marginalized area. Although the complex failed to revitalize the east end of the Fremont Street Experience near Las Vegas Boulevard after its opening in 2002, the addition of the upscale Las Vegas Premium Outlet Malls and the opening of the World Market Center were two major commercial construction projects that did change the face of downtown Las Vegas. In addition, the completion of residential high-rise condos such as Soho Lofts, Newport Lofts, and the Streamline Tower has added dynamic living spaces to an area that had previously been home to only run-down residential dwellings and shabby motels.

A 2008 map created by German-owned publisher Borch GmbH (Figure 13) depicts many of the changes noted above. In addition to showing the development that has spread to all corners of the Las Vegas metropolitan area, the map’s verso shows the casino resorts that have followed these developments such as the Palms, the Casino Montelago, Green Valley Ranch, South Point and Red Rock Station. Metro- politan lifestyle centers such as the District near Green Valley Ranch and Town Square are also noted on this map as is downtown’s redevelopment, with both the Premium Outlet Mall and wholesale World Market Center prominently featured. As a tourist map, it is significant that it depicts such sites as the Atomic Testing Museum and Springs Preserve; both attractions opened in the 2000s and illustrate the growing importance of non-gaming cultural activities to the Las Vegas area in the new millennium.

figure 13

It is clear that as the decade comes to a close, more changes will be in store for this dynamic and ever- changing metropolitan area and that they will continue to affect the creation of maps. In 2002, the Las Vegas Review Journal reported that the Las Vegas area was adding between 1,000 and 2,000 new streets a year and map publishers often found it difficult to keep up with the pace of this change. (Squires, 2002). The most widely-distributed Las Vegas atlas has been Rand McNally’s The Thomas Guide: Las Vegas Street Guide, usually referred to as simply The Thomas Guide. Compass Maps published the Las Vegas Clark County Street and Road Atlas, but hasn’t produced an edition since 1999. Local publishers such

Las Vegas Through Maps 126 WAML Information Bulletin 39(3) July 2008 as Metro Maps and Front Boy have tended to publish new editions more often but even they have had their difficulties. Long- standing local map maker Front Boy produced a Street Directory that came out every month (even providing a year of extended phone service to purchasers for info on newly-added streets) for many years, before they went out of business in 2007. Other local maps that have kept pace with these changes are Metro Maps which continues to publish the Greater Las Vegas Street Guide & Directory twice a year and the Directions Official Street Guide (it provides directions instead of a map from an assumed starting point) which is published yearly and continuously updated online.

Conclusion

As this article has shown, maps documenting the Las Vegas landscape have varied widely over the past two centuries in terms of their design, content, and function. In the nineteenth century they have ranged from maps produced as part of government-sanctioned exploration of the early western United States to crude sketches of the area around the Mormon Fort to hand-colored pages from commercial atlases featuring newly-formed western states. In the early twentieth century, settlement of Las Vegas provided the impetus for the development of other types of maps featuring the small desert town. Maps from this era included those designed for investors that showed mining ventures of southern Nevada, Clark’s Las Vegas town site as it looked at the time of the great land auction in May 1905, and those geared toward agricultural investors illustrating the proliferation of natural springs in the area that made farming viable in the desert. There was little population growth in the 1920s, but the 1930s brought the construction of the Boulder Dam project and select maps from that era show some of the significant topographical changes that affected the landscape surrounding the Las Vegas area at the time.

Following the legalization of gaming in 1931 and the construction of the first casino resorts on the Las Vegas Strip in the 1940s, Las Vegas began to develop into a significant tourist attraction and many of the maps produced reflect this increased interest. Tourist maps created at the behest of commercial entities and local business organizations with a stake in tourism such as Triple A and the Chamber of Commerce were prominent in the 1950s and 1960s and have remained so today. Although these tourist maps focused on casinos and recreational activities, real estate maps from this time period tended to illustrate the growth of the Las Vegas community by showing the layouts of new subdivisions that were springing up to the east, west and north of the city center.

Trends in map design and technology in recent years have resulted in the development of maps such as those made by Landiscor which are a hybrid of map information overlaid onto aerial photographs. Most recently, maps of the Las Vegas metropolitan area, like any major area, have been created through the use of satellite images which can incorporate street-level views and photographs of individual houses and buildings. Although paper maps are not yet passé and the Thomas Guide still sells, in Las Vegas like most cities, MapQuest and Google Maps have gained in popularity and shown themselves to be cheaper, quicker and more direct alternatives for finding one’s way around this increasingly spread out city. While they may not always be up to date regarding new streets and road closures, their availability and convenience certainly accounts for their popularity.

Despite this popularity, however, neither type of map can serve as a substitute for the published map or street atlas in revealing historical insights about the landscape over time. Whether designed for explor- ers, investors, tourists, real estate agents, or simply community residents, the maps described here show not only the diversity of content, form and function of maps over time, but serve as visual evidence of the rich and complex history of Las Vegas and its environs over the past 160 years.
