HISTORIAN DAVID SCHWARTZ’S LATEST BOOK REVISITS A CLASSIC LAS VEGAS CASINO
For 44 years, before it was imploded to make way for the Venetian, the Sands ruled the Strip. From 1952 to 1996, the glamorous casino was at the center of Las Vegas’ constant evolution, hosting the likes of John F. Kennedy and the Rat Pack. In his new book, At the Sands: The Casino That Shaped Classic Las Vegas, Brought the Rat Pack Together, and Went Out With a Bang, Las Vegas historian David G. Schwartz chronicles the days of the illustrious resort.
