Vegas like you’ve never seen, tales you’ve never heard—until now. Sizzling, behind-the-headlines, stories about the men, the Mob, movie stars, glamorous girls, and the money that made 1950s and 1960s Vegas such a hot spot in the Nevada desert.
Those were the days when you drove in from Iowa or Ohio or took a junket flight from New York. The Missus would wear her best dress and mink coat, find her lucky slot machine and you the hot craps table. And then you’d slip the maître d’ a couple bucks to sit at an A table in the showroom for the big production numbers. Maybe you’d get to see Elvis at the International. Or Sinatra at the Sands. Those were the days, all chronicled in 21 unforgettable stories and vintage photos told as only Las Vegas historian Steve Fischer can tell, about those days when the Mob ran Vegas.
