Description
Views from the Riviera Hotel, the La Concha in Googie style, the Satellite and the signs of the Stardust Resort and Casino.

Next follow views from a hotel’s pool. Around the pool, a lawn with loungers where guests relax under the hot sun.

The film closes with views of the city's night glow. All along the way we watch luminous signs.

Las Vegas is located in the Mojave Desert in the state of Nevada. In 1910 there were only 800 inhabitants, but with the construction of the Hoover Dam in 1930, thousands of people flocked to the city to claim a job. In 1931 the Northern Club received the first Nevada gambling license, opening the way for the gambling legalisation.
