Very much true, not sure if the architect took inspiration from the Contemporary.

Not yet. Did part of the Flamingo history with Bugsy and another with Lanksy and the Flamingo skimming case.

Yes, thanks for watching.

@@VegasVisual i was wrong I guess it’s nephew but you got it right in your vid . I liked your Sinatra vid too

Unfair to call him a frontman, he was a self made man and his great great grandchildren will live comfortably

Clark was both, Wilbur was his own man, ran multiple casinos and got himself to the point of almost opening the Desert Inn but Wilbur was a front man at the D.I. for Dalitz and Co.

Very cool! Clark did die too soon.

@@VegasVisual in the time around his death he felt threatened by Moe Dalitz and others in the Cleveland Mob. As I’m sure you know it was a rapidly changing time in Vegas. I now find myself in possession of many of his artifacts from the desert inn, when I get free time I’ll look through all the keepsakes in the garage and memorabilia items.

@@jakewalker271 Very cool to have those artifacts.

Thanks for watching.

Thank you for subscribing.

He suffered from something.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for watching.

That is a good idea because he was murdered after it was assumed that the Mob was basically out of Vegas.

Thanks, very true about Frank.

Thank you for watching and the kind words.

Frank was one of the best entertainer of all time but you didn't want to cross him, especially when he consumed adult beverages.

Thank you for the kind words, this project took about four months to put together. I then did a project on Bugsy for about four months but I haven't done a long project since because it takes a lot of effort and time.

@@VegasVisual did you uncover the VINNIE Teresa to Lansky connection / testimony? I always thought that was connected to Vegas but scant information exists

@@fusionaj1 I did not uncover the Vinnie Teresa to Lanky connection.

I didn't know that, thanks for the information.

Thank you for being frank about Frank.

Maybe Hermon was moody.

@@VegasVisual I spotted him off to the side of the road and he saw me telling my mom "there's a cop!!!" He saw me and chased us down. There were other cars passing us but he targeted us because I tried to warn my mom. He had something to prove to us and to the world.

I think they would have left them up, but who knows. I believe the design was to only include NYC buildings from the classic skyscraper days before the Twin Towers was built so there probably wasn't much thought to include the Twin Towers.

Musk does have the Tesla Loop system that the Boring Company is building.

Here are the "firsts" on the Strip (Highway 91): 1931, Red Rooster (The Mirage site) is believed to have the first casino (first gaming license) on the Strip, opening days after the gambling ban was repealed. 1941, El Rancho Vegas is the first resort casino on the Strip. 1946, Flamingo is the first luxury resort casino on the Strip. You didn't mention the Strip so: The first resort casino in the Las Vegas Valley was the Meadows built in 1931 by Charleston Blvd. and Mojave Blvd. Also, El Cortez is considered the first luxury resort casino in Las Vegas having been built in 1941 on Fremont Street. The current El Cortez owner, Kenny Epstein, was also born in 1941.

Most welcome!

Most welcome.

That would be Frank, if Sinatra wasn't so popular with the general public he would not have gotten away with so much.

That would be true.

Sinatra was a great entertainer, his voice quality does not match his popularity.

Totally agree ...Dean Martin could sing . The man had a beautiful voice .

The Mormons and the Mob built Vegas. On June 14, 1855 the Mormons arrived in Las Vegas to build their mission, part of which still exists downtown. Las Vegas Historical Moments: 1800's: czcams.com/video/uCUJblIjrMA/video.htmlsi=OuP475o2Z6zsSg9g

You may have used a word that sets off the algorithm. I'm on these boards a lot, and still occasionally find out a word I thought was perfectly benign could trigger the very prim robot censor.

Not sure what happened.

This along with magically being unsubscribed to channels is frustrating.

Thanks, this project started out by trying to do a history of the Sands and then I ended up just doing the Copa Room history because so there so much Copa Room information.

It is true that Bishop was the joke writer (the comedian) but what I believe is that Sinatra approved all jokes.

Different people from different backgrounds and lives. It's a combination of things

@@VegasVisual well I beg to Differ. I just used frank sinatra as a example. I liked his movies Tony rome von Ryan's express none but the brave here to eternity.

😳 You can't figure out simple things?! Can you sing into a microphone while holding a glass of jack Daniel's and a cigarette? No you can't. That's why YOU aren't frank Sinatra. Get it? It's not luck. It's skill. Lol.

Most welcome!

Thanks for watching.

@@VegasVisual thank for the awesome video.

Frank was a punk and more.

He was a punk...who could sing his ass off.

@@edgarsnake2857 still a punk..

Thank you!

Thank you!

Reasonable take.

He was certainly a better entertainer than singer.

Thank you, Sinatra had a dark side for sure.

The 90's was the last great decade, you could say apex of Las Vegas.

This is why I try to show the source of the information and let the viewer decide what they think of the information.

Sinatra was a different person drunk.

Sinatra had two opposing sides, good and bad.

Old school guy from another generation.

A true historical gem on the Strip.

Easily the best place chapel to get married in Vegas if you want a classic Vegas chapel wedding.

Wow!

You have it backwards. I don't know what year it was, certainly later, but Frank had Buddy hit with a manhole cover. It was Frank's custom to have someone do these things for him. At one time, he had a beef with a casual girlfriend because she did the unthinkable- made a remark about politics. He had someone ring her doorbell, then pied her.

@@akrenwinkle The two things probably have a lot to do with each other. I got it from Buddy's biography; "Traps the drum wonder." Have a good evening sir.

@@akrenwinkle Ok man, no argument here. Supposedly this happened in the early 1930's in Atlantic city I think. Pretty sure they were in their twenties and not friends either way = didn't like the slow ballads. Buddy was known to be a total jerk all his life and his band notoriously disliked him. Funny note = later in life a band member had a cassette tape recorder on Buddy's bus and recorded a Buddy meltdown on tape at the band. It's on CZcams. We have no argument man. It's just funny. Please have a good night sir.

@@user-ln4zr4pz4f Great talents like Buddy Rich and Mel Torme were almost always unpleasant, to say the least. But Frank, a bigger star than them combined, prided himself on absurdities that required us not to believe our own eyes and ears. His artistry was very real; everything else was phony.
