Long before neon and nightclubs, Las Vegas was a desert settlement shaped by water, railroads, risk, and reinvention. What began near Big Springs transformed almost overnight with the arrival of the railroad in the early 1900s.Join us for an oral history happy hour as we explore Las Vegas’ earliest chapters—from Nuwuvi Peoples (Paiute) homelands and Mormon trails to the 1905 land auction, railroad rivalries, Block 16, and the challenges of frontier life.
Join us at Balkan Bar and Grill for cocktails, bites and conversation as our panelists share the stories of the pioneers who paved the way, the gambles that paid off in shaping the city and all the details of just exactly how this town happened.
