About Las Vegas, NV
It’s ironic that the Spanish word Las Vegas is translated into English as “The Meadows,” since there is nothing about the dry, hot, arid climate and landscape of the city that would suggest the fruitful, lush image of floral meadows. And yet, the splendor and mystique of Las Vegas does seem to grow like a tropical oasis out of an otherwise barren wasteland, its neon lights and towering, flamboyant casinos and resorts lighting up a mesmerizing skyline in the midst of the vacant Mojave Desert. In spite of its rural location, the city of Las Vegas is by far the populous city in the state of Nevada.
Founded originally in the early 1900s, it began as a modest stopover for pioneers and adventurers to the fertile west. With the boom of the gold rush and the mining industry, it further developed into a staging area for this new industry. But it was the development of its unmatched entertainment industry that put Las Vegas on the map, and it is now the fastest-growing city established in the U.S. in the 20th century, much like how Chicago was the fastest-growing city of the 19th century.
Las Vegas is now billed as the entertainment capital of the world, with its myriad of casinos, resort hotels, and the famous Vegas Strip attracting millions of visitors each year. It is home to some of the largest, most frequented casinos in the world, and its landscape and skyline now serves as a popular backdrop for films and television programs. With the popularity of poker as a television sport, Las Vegas has become particularly popular. Because of the city’s affordable real estate, it continues to be one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S. and, even though a large majority of the city’s inhabitants work in the gaming and entertainment industry, the city is beginning to grow as a commercial city as well.
There are few established towns and cities outside of Las Vegas. For the most part, it truly is a city built in the middle of a desert. Some of the surrounding towns include: Spring Valley, Henderson, Enterprise, Paradise, Boulder City, Callville Bay, Sloan, Blue Diamond, and Mountain Springs.

About High School History
The subject of history is one of the oldest and most central subjects taught in schools throughout the world. The focus on history at the high school-level is usually quite expansive and concentrated on for all four years of the curriculum. The study of history is the study of the written record and scientific and archaeological discoveries of the past, particularly as it pertains to the human race. History has been written about even since the ancient times, when written record and oral tradition was all that early historians could rely upon. Today, history continues to evolve based on the work of previous historians as well as new means of preserving historical fact, such as photography, sound recording, and motion pictures. In high school, each semester is usually devoted to one specific period or culture.
Because history is extremely wide-ranging, covering all geographical areas of the world as well as every period of human existence, there are many subdivisions to the study of history. In addition, history is no longer studied in the abstract: now the subject of history is often interlocked with other scholarly subjects, such as religious studies, philosophy, literature, sociology, anthropology, archaeology, political science, and musicology. Within the discipline of history, students must also learn concepts such as historiography, social history, literary history, period history, gender history, people’s history, and geography, all of which are introduced at the high school level. Because history is so far-reaching, many students find it advantageous to work one-on-one with a history tutor.
Whether you are a young child, a teenager, a university student, or a professional adult and are seeking help in history, our tutors can assist you. Our professional tutors have advanced degrees or extensive training in history and can tutor and help in subject areas such as religious studies, philosophy, literature, sociology, anthropology, archaeology, political science, musicology, historiography, social history, literary history, period history, gender history, people’s history, and geography. Instruction and homework help in History is offered in various cities and towns such as Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and others.
