• Hear how Helen J. Stewart, the “First Lady of Las Vegas,” turned a remote desert ranch into the land that became downtown and set the stage for the city’s founding.
  
• Stand at the site of the Northern Club where Mayme Stocker held Las Vegas’s first gaming license—quietly launching Fremont Street’s casino era long before the story became dominated by the mob.
  
• Step inside one of the first casino hotels, built during an era when segregation was the norm, and learn how Sarann Knight-Preddy and Anna Bailey pushed against racial barriers in West Las Vegas and at the Moulin Rouge.
  
• Walk through  the former red-light blocks where Pilar Santa Cruz and other madams ran some of the city’s earliest female-owned businesses, shaping the original economy of Sin City.
  
• End in the era of the megaresort, where Elaine Wynn, the “Queen of Las Vegas,” helped transform the modern Strip and became a leading force in education and the arts.
  
• See the city through new eyes as you discover women like Lilly Fong who built schools and Judy Bayley, whose marketing prowess changed the city. Plus, the women behind the skyline—from Betty Willis, designer of the iconic Welcome to Las Vegas sign, to Nani Darnell, who rose from showgirl to casino owner, and Gloria Dea, one of the first female magicians on the Strip.
