Summary of David G. Schwartz's At the Sands
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The gambler was returning to Las Vegas. He had been a publisher and café owner in Hollywood, but his friends and enemies knew him for what he really was: a gambler. Hollywood, when you thought about it, was a big poker table: money could only be acquired through luck.
#2 Wilkerson had a vision of doing for gambling in Nevada what he had done for nightlife on the Sunset Strip. He envisioned a black-tie, glamorous casino that would put the existing hotels on Highway 91 to shame.
#3 In 1950, Las Vegas had only 6,000 people, but it still felt like a small town. The leading item in Fabulous Las Vegas, the city's fledgling entertainment magazine, was usually a successful campaign by the local Red Cross.
#4 Wilkerson changed Las Vegas, and it was soon filled with quality restaurants and bars. However, Las Vegas was still lacking compared to other cities. It was a haven for lesser-known acts and comedians.
