Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Las Vegas, Nevada, was established in 1905 as a small stopover town for travelers making their way to California. The city quickly grew as it became a popular destination for workers building the nearby Hoover Dam in the 1930s. During World War II, Las Vegas saw a population boom with the establishment of military bases in the area. In the 1950s and 60s, Las Vegas became known for its booming entertainment industry, with famous performers like Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley performing in the city’s lavish casinos and resorts. The city continued to grow throughout the latter half of the 20th century, becoming a major hub for tourism and entertainment. Today, Las Vegas is known as the “Entertainment Capital of the World,” drawing millions of visitors each year with its world-class casinos, hotels, shows, and attractions. The city has evolved from its humble beginnings into a vibrant, dynamic metropolis that continues to be a cultural and economic powerhouse in the United States.
