Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Las Vegas, Nevada, is the most famous city for gambling in the United States. Some people say that Las Vegas is a mispronunciation of "Lost wages". The casinos and hotels have so many neon lights that people call this city in the desert "The City of Lights".

Each of the big hotels in Las Vegas is special. Going into one is like entering another world. One hotel is like ancient Egypt. Another is like a tropical island. Still another is like New York City. These hotels have shows with famous entertainers. Everything looks expensive. But the rooms cost half the price of the rooms in other places. And the restaurants have all you can eat meals for very little money. That's because the hotels make their money from the gambling casinos.

Las Vegas started in 1905 as a small train stop. There were only a few buildings in the middle of the desert. In 1946, a famous gangster named Bugsy Seigel built the first casino. He was murdered in 1947. This made him and Las Vegas more famous! In the early 1950s, tourists went to Las Vegas not only to gamble. They went to watch atomic bomb tests in the desert outside the city. In those days, people didn't know it was dangerous. They thought it was exciting.

Las Vegas is also famous for its many wedding chapels. Like all of Las Vegas, they are open twenty-four hours a day. Getting married is easy. A couple just pays a few dollars for a license, and they can get married immediately. They don't have to wait. Many famous movie stars were married in Las Vegas.

It is interesting that Las Vegas has more churches for its population than anywhere else in the United States. That's not counting wedding chapels. Another interesting fact is that tourists have a greater chance of having a heart attack in Las Vegas than in any other American city.
