Did you know that during the 1950s, Las Vegas was a center of so-called Atomic tourism? Yes, you heard it right, atomic as nuclear bomb tourism. With frequent nuclear tests carried out in the desert, just 65 miles away from Vegas, craters like Sedan crater and others are still visible today. Over 900 nuclear tests were carried out, and people from all over the World would come to watch the explosions holding champagne glasses on Vegas rooftops. As a result, Vegas got a new nickname, the Atomic City. The famous Atomic Cocktail was invented here, and you can still visit the National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas
