Long before the casinos, the mafia, and mega resort mogul Steve Wynn, Las Vegas was a desert stop on a trail primarily used by settlers and monthly mail runs from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles. A network of natural springs provided water to support the Piute Indians in the area and to rejuvenate travelers along the way. In 1855, the Mormon Church decided the location was perfect for a settlement. The adobe-style Old Mormon Fort is the oldest non-tribal structure found in southern Nevada.
