similar to the history of Las Vegas. What parts of it can be replicated?

By traditional mythology, the reason Las Vegas exists is because the mob (mafia) wanted to have a playground far far away from the Feds :-)

Or because it's the place closest to San Francisco where gambling was legal.

San Fran is not that special :-P

Besides, gambling was legalized in the entire state of Nevada and there are certainly places closer to SF in there (like Reno).
