Las Vegas, Nevada in the early forties and fifties through the seventies was a unique spot on the face of the globe known as "Sin City USA". It harbored the famous and infamous, and the term "anything goes in Las Vegas" was not an empty utterance. It was distinctly different from any other city in the country and proud of it. The saying went for entertainers: "If you haven't played Las Vegas you haven't arrived ". Where every resort casino offered a dinner show at eight and a cocktail show at midnight seven nights a week with top flight lounge acts performing nightly through dawn. it was the only real twenty four hour town where guests could saunter across the desolate strip with a drink in their hand at three in the morning and not get noticed, and where one could order a full steak dinner at five am.
