Why is Las Vegas known as "Sin City"?

Shouldn't that title be held for Washington, DC?

    Way back when Las Vegas was getting her casinos, the casinos were funded by the Mob and it was the only legal place to gamble so I guess that is why it was known as Sin City.

    becaus Gambling is legal in Vegas and prostitution is legal outside of Clark county. The bars never, ever close.

    for somebody who provides different individuals's money away so freely, Obama has no room to talk approximately spending foolishly. Obama looks to be incorrect plenty greater often than he's proper. I agree, gotta love the mayor.
