    Las Vegas began as home to the Paiute tribe around 700 AD near a marshland water source. In 1829, Spanish explorer Antonio Armijo discovered Las Vegas while following a tributary of the Colorado River with his men, naming it "Las Vegas" which means meadow. Las Vegas grew as a tourist destination after a railroad connected it to Los Angeles in 1905 and it incorporated as part of Clark County in 1911. Today, Las Vegas is one of the largest cities in the US, uniquely known for legalized gambling, attracting over 40 million visitors in 2013 through large entertainment and gambling industries.
