It is a unique fantasy in the desert drawing millions of tourists each year and is a major resource for employment. Corporate America has moved into Las Vegas and created super casinos and some of the largest hotels in the world. Since the arrival of super casinos, union membership has tripled, making Vegas one of the few places in the country where union membership is on the rise.

Produced by A&E. Las Vegas existed before the mob came to town but not in any way that would be familiar to the millions of people who flock to the city today.
