Nevada
Trivia!
|
|
|
- Florida
has hurricanes. The Midwest has tornadoes. What does Nevada
have? Dust Devils -- whirling dervishes that occur when
the summer sun heats up the desert, creating a sudden updraft
situation. Hot air also affects airplane lift and flights
can be delayed if weight-to-lift ratio is affected.
- President
Hoover had the dam named after him, but it was Calvin Coolidge
who began the process when he signed the Black Canyon Reclamation
Power and Irrigation Bill during his term of office. Franklin
Roosevelt would be president when the dam was completed
Sept. 30, 1935.
- The
original neon cowboy at downtown's Pioneer Club was built
five stories high. "Vegas Vic," as he was known, was an
icon, calling out "Howdy Pard'ner" as his mechanical arm
waved. When the Fremont Street canopy was built, Vic had
to go -- or be beheaded. He was removed and reconstructed
to fit under the canopy, where he waves to visitors still.
- On
average, 150 couples get married in Las Vegas each day.
- The
first major resort built on the Las Vegas Strip was the
El Rancho in 1947. It had 63 rooms.
- New
York-New York Hotel & Casino's Brooklyn Bridge is one-fifth
the size of the one over the East River, which spans 1,595
feet. The original took nearly 16 years to build. Las Vegas'
version took just four months.
- The
Jubilee! Stage at Bally's is half the size of a football
field. It is 15 stories from the bottom of the orchestra
pit to the roof and includes three double decker elevators,
plus eight smaller elevators to lift dancers to the sets.
