In the middle of one of the harshest deserts in North America sits a city that, by all rights, shouldn’t exist. 
What began as a watering hole for ancient peoples became a railroad stop, then a gambling outpost, and ultimately one of the most famous cities on Earth.

Learn more about Las Vegas and how it beat the odds on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
