Trivia: What city’s name means “the meadows” in Spanish?
El Paso, Texas
Santa Fe, New Mexico
Sacramento, California
Las Vegas, Nevada
The correct answer is Las Vegas, Nevada
So why is this answer correct? : The Las Vegas Springs emerged from the desert floor in the area that is now Sin City, creating two streams of water across the valley. A lush oasis of grassy meadows was the result, and one Spanish-speaking traveler christened the region “Las Vegas.” Though the meadows of old Las Vegas are now buried under casinos, the city’s name reminds visitors of a simpler, greener time.
