Las Vegas

September19

Since I was thinking about Vegas vacations, I got to wondering what does “Las Vegas” mean anyway. Las Vegas actually means “the meadows.” When I think of Las Vegas, I think of a desert and not a meadow. The name came from a group of explorers, who came across a green area after walking through the desert. Thus, the name Las Vegas stuck.

Doesn’t look too much like a meadow, does it?
