Vegas' 100th

In its first 100 years, Las Vegas has symbolized the improbable come true: the mighty Colorado River held back by Hoover Dam, atoms pushed to their limits at the Nevada Test Site, and, of course, the Strip, where big dreams play out in a glamorous, over-the-top setting. Now the desert wonderland comes into its own with a series of birthday events worthy of the biggest party city on the planet. Grab a bite of the world record-breaking 130,000-pound cake on May 15 or attend a mass wedding on June 9 under the lights of Fremont Street--where modern Las Vegas was born.
