Mike Weatherford resurrects the mystique of Las Vegas Golden Age -- the '60s-cool of history and legend-and introduces Sin City s hipster legacy to new generations of Vegasphiles. Meet '50s and '60s lounge greats the Treniers, the Mary Kaye Trio, and Louis Prima and Keely Smith, comedy legends Joe E Lewis, Shecky Greene, and Don Rickles, and Vegas "babes" Vampira, Lili St Cyr, Ann-Margret, and Tempest Storm. Weatherford also covers nearly every offbeat movie ever made about Las Vegas, as well as Elvis and Frank s impact on the town. This gorgeous entertainment retrospective is packed with showroom esoterica, descriptions of near-forgotten corners of Vegas cult musicology, odd trivia, and unsung heroes of a bygone era.
