A chronicle of Vegas during the glamorous '50s and '60s by a newspaper reporter and publicist who was in the thick of it--the proverbial fly on the wall. Imagine what it must have been like to be in Las Vegas during its most glamorous and eventful years: the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.

His recollections of Las Vegas' good old bad old days put you in the thick of it, too.
