1. On February 25, 1863, the Nevada Territory was officially established by an act of Congress, paving the way for Nevada's admission to the Union as the 36th state in 1864. This was a historic moment for Nevada, which played a vital role in the Civil War and later became known for its mining and gambling industries.

2. In 1907, on February 25, the famous Las Vegas Strip was formed when the first land purchase in what is now known as the Strip was made by the El Rancho Vegas hotel. This hotel later became known as the City of Las Vegas, which was opened in 1941, marking the start of Las Vegas' rise to fame as a world-renowned resort city.

3. On February 25, 1952, the Stardust Hotel & Casino opened its doors on the Las Vegas Strip. The Stardust became famous for its extravagant shows and entertainment, and was a popular destination for celebrities such as Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. The hotel was eventually demolished in 2007 and replaced by the Echelon Place project, which was later canceled due to the recession.

4. Another significant event in Nevada's history occurred on February 25, 1991, when former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke was scheduled to speak at the University of Nevada, Reno. This sparked protests and controversy across the state, with many people expressing their opposition to Duke's racist views. The university eventually canceled Duke's appearance, citing concerns for public safety.

5. Finally, on February 25, 2019, the Nevada Assembly introduced a bill that would make daylight saving time permanent in the state. The bill followed a decision by the European Parliament to eliminate daylight saving time throughout the European Union. If the bill is passed, Nevada could join a growing number of states that have chosen to adopt permanent daylight saving time, rather than switching the clocks back and forth twice a year.
