WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.
Many cities have interesting nicknames.
Nicknames can help establish the identity of a city.
They can also spread pride among its citizens.
New Orleans, Louisiana probably has more nicknames
than any other American city.
One web site lists more than twenty nicknames.
The most famous is The Big Easy.
It describes the gentle, slow
and easy-going way of life in New Orleans.
So how did the city get this nickname?
In the early nineteen hundreds,
there was a dance hall in New Orleans called The Big Easy.
But the nickname did not become famous
until the early nineteen seventies.
That was when a Louisiana newspaper writer
began calling New Orleans by this name.
She compared the easy-going way of life there
to the hurried pace of life in New York City.
In nineteen seventy, James Conaway
wrote a crime novel called "The Big Easy."
The story was set in New Orleans.
In nineteen eighty-seven,
that book was made into a film
which made the nickname even more popular.
New Orleans has other nicknames.
One of them is The Crescent City.
During the nineteenth century,
new neighborhoods expanded out
from what is now known as the French Quarter.
These areas followed the great curve of the Mississippi River,
giving New Orleans the shape of a crescent.
Another nickname is the Birthplace of Jazz
because that kind of music started in New Orleans.
It is also called Mardi Gras City for the wild celebrations
and parades that take place there every year.
And, there is a nickname that uses the short way
to write New Orleans and Louisiana.
If you do not want to use the complete name,
you can call the city NOLA.
One of America's most exciting cities is Las Vegas, Nevada.
There you can play games of chance all night long.
The city's night clubs are also open all night
for eating, drinking and dancing.
So it is not surprising that Las Vegas
is called The Gambling Capital of the World
and The Entertainment Capital of the World.
Another nickname for Las Vegas is Sin City
because you can find many kinds of adult entertainment there.
Many people who come to Las Vegas
in hopes of winning lots of money
do not know when to stop gambling.
They may lose a great deal of their hard-earned money.
So the city is also called something
that sounds like Las Vegas – Lost Wages.
In nineteen sixty-four,
Elvis Presley starred in a movie called "Viva Las Vegas."
Here he sings the title song from that movie.
