Greetings from Las Vegas

by Peter Moruzzi
ebook
This book of vintage Vegas ephemera offers a guided tour of Sin City's rise out of the Mojave Desert to become a major entertainment destination. Greetings from Las Vegas tells the story of Las Vegas during its golden age in the first half of the twentieth-century. The city's miraculous evolution comes alive through a fun and diverse collection of vintage photos, picture postcards, matchbooks, ads, and other ephemera. This beautifully illustrated volume captures the glamor of Fremont Street and the Las Vegas Strip, landmarks such as the Sands and Riviera hotel casinos, and the cream of Hollywood glitterati, including Frank, Sammy, Dino, and the rest of the Rat Pack. Author Peter Moruzzi's sharp and irreverent commentary provides essential context for the visual treats as well as a unique historical take on the evolution of this desert playground.
