作者简介

A few years ago, when Omaha-based historian Steve Fischer retired from a career in sales and advertising, he began listing his Vegas memorabilia on eBay. From those listings evolved colorful stories of the people and places Fischer knew so well during his early years in advertising, living in LA and driving on weekends across the desert to Vegas where he amassed a priceless collection of Vegas postcards, vintage hotel keys, menus from all the showrooms, signs, autographs and memories. The stories in this book, now in its fifth printing, tell true crime tales of the desert city he has seen grow and change over the last 40 years.
