Item Description
The winner will receive Cult Vegas: The Weirdest! The Wildest! The Swingin'est Town on Earth.
In Cult Vegas, author 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.
