Customer Rating:
Summary: Outdated, but very informative.
Comment: This is a great DVD set to own. If you are really into the history of Las Vegas, which I am, it's wonderful. It is a very thorough history of the town and events which had an impact on it. It is a 2 dics set, with two episodes on each disc. The episodes tend to overlap each other in terms of information, so you tend to see the same thing more than once on different episodes. The DVD was made around 1996, so it's now outdated, but still well worth the money.

Summary: Real Las Vegas Has (S)lots Of History
Comment: A documentary which makes you feel as if you were part of Vegas when it all began. If you think you know it all about Vegas, think again. This film awakens you to really appreciate how far this little dry and dusty place has come. The Real Las Vegas is worth the gamble.

Summary: Las Vegas and all its glory
Comment: The History Channel will always be praised for it's outstanding and reavealing subjects no matter what the topic. They have brought us the definitive documentary on Las Vegas that will probably never be outdone.
Whether it is the Neon Oasis, The City of Sin, The City That Never Sleeps or whatever name has been attributed to it, Las Vegas is truly a magical and wondrous place that has grabbed the imagination and carefree attitudes of millions of people.
This DVD leaves almost nothing to the imagination and all the stops have been pulled out to give you the complete history of how it all came to be. You are treated with historical facts of how Indians first came to the Nevada ranges and tamed the land following with the Mormons who migrated in and set about to establish the early years in the area.
Without missing a beat, we then find out how the Mafia moved in and started to build casino's and created a dynasty to last for many years to come. As time goes on, you will be treated to interviews with many big name entertainers and entepreneurs who have shaped the city into what it is today. These would include but not limited to, Howard Hughes, Steve Wynn, Wayne Newton, Debbie Reynolds, Alan King and a host of others.
You will get to visit all the mega-resorts with all their glamour and hype and majesty and be amazed at just how much there really is to see and experience in this city without limits. This is a very satisfying 2 disc DVD documentary at an excellent price and is most likely the best look at Las Vegas you will ever see. Highly recommended to all.
