The playground in the desert built by the mob and transformed by Howard Hughes, the "fabulous, extraordinary madhouse," that is Las Vegas, Nevada, has long been regarded as the Entertainment Capital of the World. During the post-war boom years, no place was as fascinating as Vegas. Distinguished by millions of colorful neon lights, the sounds of rhumba music, and the clink of silver dollars, Vegas was a recreational colony for Hollywood's most glamorous and a dream destination for thousands of ordinary Americans. Vegas Gold vividly showcases the glitz, glamour, and charm of Sin City's golden years, from the 1950s to the 1980s. An adoring ode to this ultimate adult playground, it celebrates the best of old Las Vegas--the Sands Hotel, the Stardust, Fremont Street, the Golden Nugget, the Riviera Hotel, the Desert Inn, and the Horseshoe--and its legendary headliners, including Frank Sinatra, Marlene Dietrich, Elvis Presley, Liberace, Ann-Margret, Sammy Davis Jr., Eartha Kitt, Noel Coward, and of course, the gorgeous Vegas showgirls. Framed by quotes and short essays that profile the marquee names that made Las Vegas the ultimate destination, the legendary years of this magical city live on in all their glory in Vegas Gold."--Jacket. 505 0 $a Foreword / by Wayne Newton -- Introduction -- The 50s, diamonds in the dust -- The 60s, brighter lights, bigger city -- The 70s, strip show -- Afterwords / by Donny Osmond and Marie Osmond. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 238-239). 651 0 $a Las Vegas (Nev.) $v Pictorial works. 651 0 $a Las Vegas (Nev.) $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Entertainers $z Las Vegas $z Las Vegas $v Portraits. 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Newton, Wayne, $e writer of foreword. $9 10325 700 1 $a Osmond, Donny, $e writer of afterword. $9 53708 700 1 $a Osmond, Marie, $d 1959- $e writer of afterword. $9 102035 700 1 $a Schmidt, Stephen $c (Graphic designer), $e book designer. 941 $a 1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909053649.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5213E560789511EA8FAC8C5897128E48 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
