“The City of Las Vegas, the Early Years,” was commissioned by the Commission for the Las Vegas Centennial, and focuses on the early history of our city. Part 1 of the documentary was released on May 15, 2019 and focused on the founding and first 20 years of the community. Part 2 of the documentary produced by Boyd Productions LLC, will focus on the 1920s.

The documentary was funded by the Commission for the Las Vegas Centennial. The commission has established a grant program to support community initiatives that are of a historic nature, by utilizing the revenue generated from the special commemorative Las Vegas Centennial license plate.





Interesting that a commemorative license plate paid for all of this.

Las Vegas began in 1905. In 2005, they had a centennial celebration on the strip, which I attended.
