Las Vegas, also known as Sin City and the Entertainment Capital of the World, is one of the world's four major casino cities. It is renowned as both the "Entertainment Capital of the World" and the "Wedding Capital of the World." This bustling city harbors countless little-known facts!

One of the most famous pieces of trivia is that there are no clocks in casinos! Clocks are considered taboo in casinos, designed to make people lose track of time and immerse themselves in gambling.

Gambling is sometimes more important than life itself. In 1980, many individuals lost everything or their jobs due to uncontrollable gambling habits. In one Las Vegas hospital, employees were dismissed for prioritizing gambling over critically ill patients. Shockingly, there was a case where a nurse resorted to murder to have time to play slot machines. It's a stark reminder to gamble responsibly!

Countless hotels populate the city. Las Vegas is globally recognized for having some of the most luxurious hotels with diverse styles. Staying in all of them might be a dream for some, but it's practically impossible, requiring approximately 288 years according to statistics. No one lives that long yet!

Boasting the title of Earth's Light. Las Vegas's claim as the "Light of the Earth" is hard to dispute. With the world's most numerous and dazzling neon lights, it seems like darkness will never prevail. If aliens see such a beautiful city, they might hesitate to return to outer space!

Replicating the Sphinx. Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas features a captivating attraction – a copied "pirated" Sphinx that stands 101 feet tall, even larger than the original. One wonders how the original feels about this "copy-paste" job!

Hotel anecdotes are a must. Bellagio, with its musical fountain, attracts many visitors. It has a whopping 3,933 hotel rooms, surpassing the population of the Italian city with the same name. Enjoying the beautiful fountain and music, staying there must be quite an experience!

The biggest winner. In Las Vegas casinos, some people leave with nothing, while others can become millionaires in minutes. In the history of Las Vegas slot machines, a 25-year-old software engineer turned a $100 bill into $39 million. The biggest winner in odd-even betting won $16.7 million by betting on odd numbers.
