While the other federal agents seem to wear “whatever they have to hand”, he argued that Bovino “stands out from this #thuggish #mob, just as an elegant #SS officer stands out from the rowdy SA mob. The dashing undercut is also spot on; all that’s missing for the perfect cosplay is a monocle.”

This Las Vegas All-American Road Is the Ultimate US Road Trip – World Atlas

This Las Vegas All-American Road Is the Ultimate US Road Trip

Is there a more famous road on Earth than the Las Vegas Strip? Between its storied past and the immense number of world-class attractions that call it home today, this 4.5-mile byway not only ranks among America’s most beloved tourist destinations but has also featured in a plethora of popular media. From the newly released season of Fallout to the comedy classic The Hangover, the severely underrated Scorsese crime drama Casino, and many other movies, TV shows, video games, and books, we have likely all seen or heard about The Strip’s bright lights, whether you have visited in real life or not.

Its reputation, mixed with a number of other historic and cultural landmarks catering to travellers of all ages and interests, has deservedly made it a designated All-American Road. With that, let’s take a deeper dive into the Strip’s remarkable story, as well as what it has in store for modern-day roadtrippers journeying through Nevada.

The Story of America’s Most Sinful Road

The Strip began taking shape in the 1930s, when early resorts were built just outside Las Vegas city limits to avoid the increasingly strict regulations and taxes across the rest of the United States. El Rancho Vegas, which opened in 1941, is widely recognized as the first true resort on the Strip, setting the template for large-scale hotels paired with entertainment and gambling. The 1940s and 1950s then saw rapid expansion, with hotel-casinos such as the Flamingo, Desert Inn, Sahara, and Sands setting up shop, many backed by wealthy investors and, in some cases, infamous organized crime figures like the Italian mafia.

During the 1960s and 1970s, corporate ownership gradually replaced mob influence, bringing greater legitimacy and large capital investments. This resulted in mixed reviews, with some still lamenting the loss of “old Vegas” and its gritty charm to this day. Nonetheless, resorts relentlessly grew bigger, more polished, and more entertainment-focused, helping transform the Strip into a certified international destination and drawing in millions of tourists and high rollers from around the world each year.

The opening of the Mirage in 1989 marked a distinct turning point, ushering in the era of the modern megaresort with themed design, luxury accommodations, and spectacle-driven attractions. Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, properties such as the Bellagio, MGM Grand, Venetian, and Caesars Palace expanded the city’s global appeal into what we have today, a sparkling gem of a profit generator sitting in the middle of the otherwise harsh Mojave Desert.

Must-See Attractions on The Strip

It goes without saying that the strip has perhaps the best selection of casinos anywhere (although we will still make some recommendations later on), but there are a number of other types of attractions for those not too keen on gambling. From fascinating museums to theme parks, engineering marvels, and more, here are some must-visit draws that the whole family can often enjoy.

For those interested in Sin City’s Mafia roots, the Mob Museum offers a detailed look at the history of organized crime and law enforcement in the United States, with, of course, a strong focus on Las Vegas. Located in a former federal courthouse at the northern end of the Stip, this museum opened in 2012 and features dozens of well-curated exhibits spread across multiple floors.

Of course not, the fact that the Vice President claims this is absolutely outrageous.

The vile evilness of this whole Administration is beyond imagination. What a bunch of fascist thugs... shame on them!

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

In the final result, it mattered not one whit whether the movement was in favor of one class or of another. The outcome was equally fatal, whether the country fell into the hands of a wealthy oligarchy which exploited the poor or whether it fell under the domination of a turbulent mob which plundered the rich. In both cases there resulted violent alternations between tyranny and disorder, and a final complete loss of liberty to all citizens — destruction in the end overtaking the class which had for the moment been victorious as well as that which had momentarily been defeated. The death-knell of the Republic had rung as soon as the active power became lodged in the hands of those who sought, not to do justice to all citizens, rich and poor alike, but to stand for one special class and for its interests as opposed to the interests of others.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Speech (1903-09-07), “The Square Deal,” Labor Day, New York State Agricultural Association, New York State Fair, Syracuse

A modern gaming computer – online, and fields with a mage

And then, in the summer, I remembered the fun times. And I played Ragnarok Online. That game is still available. You can easily download the client and play. Everything is right there in Steam. I launched it. Registered there. And everything took off.

Five years after the deadly attackon the US Capitol, Donald Trump and other Republicans have engaged in a near-complete effort to #rewrite the history of the day and #erase it from the collective American memory.

On his first day in office, Trump #pardoned anyone involved in the attack, a move that affected some 1,500 people.
His administration has #paid $5m to settle a wrongful death lawsuit with the family of Ashli Babbitt, a rioter killed by a Capitol police officer as she attempted to breach doors near the House floor.
Hundreds of other rioters are also seeking millions of dollars in #compensation.
“The pardons issued last January sent a clear message to the American people:
💥political allegiance now matters more than criminal conduct.

But over the past year, we’ve also seen a sustained effort to rewrite the facts of January 6,
as if the historical record could be negotiated away or erased,”
said Gregory Rosen, who led the justice department unit that prosecuted January 6 cases.

“But Americans remember that day for a simple reason:
👉 we watched it happen.
And as long as we remember what it was
– unadulterated #mob #violence
– we can speak honestly about what it means for our democracy and our future.”

“We set the terms and conditions,” Mr. Miller said. “We have a complete embargo on all of their oil and their ability to do commerce. So for them to do commerce, they need our permission. For them to be able to run an economy, they need our permission. So the United States is in charge. The United States is running the country.”

A quotation from Terry Pratchett

You take a bunch of people who don’t seem any different from you and me, but when you add them all together you get this sort of huge raving maniac with national borders and an anthem.

Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author

Etwas läuft gewaltig schief in einer Gemeinschaft, wenn #Hetze gegen andere zelebriert wird, wenn sich Menschen als #Mob gerieren. Wie kann es sein, dass Leute es sich komplett ersparen, genauer hinzuschauen, wenn Stimmung gegen eine Person gemacht wird?
