Insane Minecraft Build: Las Vegas Strip 1:1 Scale

Imagine a desert just sitting there for thousands and tens of thousands millions of years and then just 100 years ago a strange race of creatures called human beings turned into a blinding spectacle of light entertainment and deception i went to las vegas a long time ago

But it was never for the main attraction of vegas if you want to blow your life savings on games that promise the infinitesimal possibility of huge winnings that you totally will win this is the place if you want to stumble through an endless connected indoor metropolis of

Casinos bars and stages that never end this is it but these buildings are among the largest and most complicated in the world the entire city is a hypnotic spectacle of lights and illusions a beautiful trap and the city of sin can we build this in minecraft it’s too much to pass up

People come in on planes by the boatloads to see this so the very least we’re gonna hello everyone what a legend this really looks like las vegas i went to las vegas i remember this wait did osm really create this as the fountain this is the fountain that’s so

Funny okay they made a lake where the fountain is that makes sense dippy’s gambling calm down dude you don’t want to spend all your money i like these um let’s see what is he saying you are a loser also fun to poop your pants but i have something called self-control you know

This entire city is like just a bell off of people peeing their pants i don’t know gabe always wants to make it political i’m not gonna go there i’m not making it political it’s based on capitalism the capitalist machine is powerful that’s a really great impression you guys ready to get started

If we’re gonna start i’m gonna need people to go yeah but if people are sleeping you can just go yeah go go go build bill bill bill here we go a few moments later what what the work’s done for us it’s been like five minutes you guys

This is amazing oh my god you saw that right in a matter of minutes we had erected fully completed building streets and fountains it totally wasn’t the nevada team who had been working on it for months prior stuff around here seems to pop up practically overnight no

Wonder so many people fly here but las vegas wasn’t always traveled to mostly by plane in 1829 a caravan of 60 men led by a spanish merchant discovered a valley while enroute to los angeles it was a pretty awesome valley so they named it las vegas which means fertile plains

That’s it the oasis in the middle of the desert but it wasn’t always this way if we want to go back millions of years this whole place used to be a marsh seriously but the river sustained it eventually sank underground and then it dried out i guess

It was in this desert that an american team of scientists scouts and spies anticipating a war with mexico established a fort in case of the very likely possibility that the united states would win and expand their territory to include the nevada region and that turned out to end up happening

Some mormon missionaries tried to settle the area but after some difficulty farming as well as some infighting amongst the leaders they went back to their home planet of utah things were pretty quiet until after the civil war in which the united states reoccupied the fort the land allocation expanded

For farmers allowed mormons to re-invade in 1985 until we get what would look like the start of a las vegas during this time las vegas acted as a little more than a water stop for those on their way to california until railroads were built which stimulated growth and

Economic activity as las vegas became an official city in 1911. around the same time nevada outlawed gambling now i know what you’re thinking how did las vegas get from there to its current state the answer lies in a series of very specific historical events that if any one of them were to change

Las vegas would have a completely different historical and national identity in our hypothetical bizarro timeline it starts with herbert hoover approving the construction of the hoover dam this brought people eager to work to the town swelling las vegas previous population of five thousand by a factor of five so you have thousands of

Thousands of male workers constructing this dam who moved from other areas that have no attachment to the general area and in the supply meets demand world a combination of business owners and crime lords established the first casinos in show girl theaters to entertain and satisfy the overabundance of male libido

Now gambling is illegal in so much of the world simply because it’s too successful people just can’t help themselves realizing its profitability nevada had it legalized locally las vegas was poised to become the gambling capital of the world this ignited a conflict between government on state levels versus federal levels as the united

States attempted to restrict the movement of dam workers to las vegas before this got too out of control in response smuggling and circus routes were created nevertheless the restrictions were effective limiting the economic rise of the emerging las vegas culture until the hoover dam was completed which was a major breakthrough

For the us power grid and las vegas was first in line electricity flowed into the city lighting it up with an explosive and eccentric series of bright lighting that would give rise to las vegas signature nighttime look so as the hoover dam worker population disappeared the city

Was set to become one of the world’s most interesting and popular tourist attractions las vegas businesses would remain in the hands of local families as opposed to the more recently arrived crime lords until post world war ii when mafia bosses started erecting their own casinos this marks the beginning of las

Vegas stereotypical historical identity organized crime supplying a mega economy of tourism fun scary dirty and exciting all the same time this was a more organized wild west epoch of united states history before the state had sufficient force to crush organized crime out of existence the heart of the american economy and life

Was fought for over these two opposing forces and this was never personified better than in las vegas and for good reason by the 1950s 8 million people were pumping 200 million a year into the las vegas casinos and during this out-of-control economic boom things got boomier the government

Instituted a nevada test site for nuclear weapons in which over 100 nuclear detonations were released the effects of nuclear fallout at the time were greatly underestimated so the us government were popping these things like fireworks vegas offered high-rise restaurants that gave the best view of the mushroom clouds complete with

Atomic cocktails merchandising and misatomic beauty pageants to garner street cred from the close proximity they eventually moved atomic testing underground and later completely canceled it in the early 90s the long-term health effects on the las vegas populace during this time period are totally unknown vegas just continued

To snowball from there as the world became more connected and tourism increased per capita globally this had a proportionate effect on the vegas economy being one of the most well-known tourist locations in the world this city was on an economic and population explosion that lasted from the 1930s all the way to 2008

[ __ ] legendary the mafia rat pack era of vegas started to die out in the 1980s as the world war ii generation began to age out modernity was commercialized wholesale and the power of the state became sufficient to begin to blot out the general culture of organized crime

Like new york city vegas began its transformation into a completely cleansed disneyland with slot machines since then a few crisis has significantly impacted the city such as the economic housing crash of 2008 the largest mass shooting in american history in 2017 and of course everything that happened

In 2020 but vegas is one of the most fascinating cities in the world that can’t be stopped not even by atomic bombs the buildings themselves invite curiosity out of the strange shapes of the gigantic mega resorts and hotels i wonder what those would look like in minecraft You [Applause] [Applause] Oh [Applause] So [Applause] Um [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] okay what are we gonna what are we checking out here all i see now is a beautiful sunset like this hue is just gorgeous oh now wow no it’s actually a plane on this piping plane you’ll see two emergency exits undefined i’ve got an emergency exit for you For a second i thought this spelled brazier can we actually go to vegas and check it out now oh whoa this was not here when i last looked what the [ __ ] we built this in a day pippin there we go follow me welcome to the casino oh
