Long before Fremont Street was an entertainment zone, one city block was set aside for vice. In 1905 Las Vegas designated Block 16 (two blocks north of today\u2019s Fremont Street) as a special area where gambling and liquor were officially allowed. Saloons, card parlors and brothels sprang up to serve railroad workers, ranch hands and drifters on the Old Spanish Trail. Block 16 became known informally as the town\u2019s red-light district. From its inception it was unique \u2013 as one history notes, it was \u201ejeden z prvn\u00edch m\u011bstsk\u00fdch blok\u016f, kde byly povoleny hazardn\u00ed hry i alkohol\u201c<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This arrangement lasted until the World War II era. In 1941 city leaders and the nearby Army Air Field (later Nellis AFB) pressured the closure of vice. By the mid-1940s prostitution was outlawed in Las Vegas and all the Block 16 businesses shut down. Today there is no trace of it beyond old photographs \u2013 the area is mostly parking lots and empty soil. But during its heyday, Block 16 earned Las Vegas a reputation as Sin City years before the Strip even existed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuget Hand of Faith (61 liber, asi 875 trojsk\u00fdch unc\u00ed) objevil v Austr\u00e1lii v roce 1980 mlad\u00fd prospektor. Prodal ho kasinu Golden Nugget v centru Las Vegas, kde je dodnes uzav\u0159en ve skle pro ve\u0159ejnost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golden Nugget advertises it as \u201cthe biggest golden nugget in existence\u201d, a fitting centerpiece for a city built on luck and riches. Visitors can walk up and touch a protective glass, seeing a genuine natural wonder that weighs more than 27 kilograms. (By comparison, the Heart of Gold nugget in the Smithsonian is only about 78 lbs.) This Aussie treasure is a reminder that even in Las Vegas, sometimes the biggest bling comes from the ground, not the jeweler\u2019s counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To truly experience Vegas \u201clike a local,\u201d skip the tourist traps and seek the secrets. Many casinos now hide retro speakeasy lounges: for example, Bally\u2019s (now Horseshoe) features The Lock, an unmarked cocktail bar behind a secret door in the lobby. Other insider venues include Ghost Donkey (an underground mezcal bar) and the Lavender Rooftop Lounge at Motel 6 (a former drug den turned hip bar). Beyond bars, there\u2019s the Neon Museum\u2019s Boneyard, where over 250 vintage Vegas signs glow below street level. Even a slice of the famous Strip is hidden: walk upstairs in the Cosmopolitan Hotel and you\u2019ll find the unmarked \u201cSecret Pizza\u201d joint. Artistic oddities hide in plain view \u2013 for instance, the multi-room installation Omega Mart lets you browse a surreal supermarket in Area 15. These offbeat stops require some digging to find but reward visitors with stories you won\u2019t see in any guidebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
