Las Vegas owes its popularity to nuclear bombs
For most people, Las Vegas is associated with an incredible number of casinos and exciting entertainment. However, this was not always the case. In the mid-20th century, the relatively young city of Las Vegas had several gambling establishments, and the visitors were predominantly local residents.
In 1951, the US Department of Energy began conducting nuclear tests at the Nevada test site, 100 kilometers from Las Vegas. By 1963, more than 1,000 warheads had exploded there. At that time there was no detailed information about the dangers of radiation, and therefore explosions became a popular attraction. People came to Las Vegas to see this spectacle, and this is what made it popular.
Brochures and calendars were distributed among tourists with the dates of the tests and a list of casinos where they could watch the explosions. Also, theme parties began to be held in Vegas establishments, and “atomic cocktails” were offered to guests in casino bars. One of the gambling houses even held a Miss Nuclear Energy beauty contest, where girls dressed as nuclear mushrooms competed for victory.
Fruit symbols in slot machines
The image of fruits among the symbols of slot machines has long become traditional. However, the history of their appearance on slot machine screens is quite interesting.
