Photos of the visually amazing Las Vegas, New Mexico (the original Las Vegas, founded in 1835). Besides having been the roughest town in the West, according to many historians (see www.HookIntoHistory.com), Las Vegas is one of the busiest TV and film locations in the Southwest, the locale for all or much of "Red Dawn," "Longmire," "No Country for Old Men," "Roswell, NM," "Easy Rider," and hundreds of other shows.
The Las Vegas we know was conceived -- if anybody really conceived it -- in 1931, when Nevada liberalised its divorce and gambling laws, which would ultimately transform the city into America's playground for grown-ups. It was also the year an unprecedented engineering project began, that would turn the Colorado River from a wild killer stream to a wild reservoir that waters not only California vegetables but also sprawling Las Vegas suburbs. From 1905 to 1931, Las Vegas was still a tiny oasis in a big, dangerous desert. Its isolated people made their own swamp coolers, their own entertainment and sometimes their own whiskey. The author, Joan Burkhardt Whitely, enlisted older Las Vegans to help capture the memories of a Mojave Mayberry where neighbours took care of each other, not merely because no one else would, but because it was their hometown, and they cared.
A lavish coffee-table-format tribute to the attractions of Sin City is organized geographically to cover its downtown, north strip, south strip, and "off the strip" areas, in a full-color photographic tour that is complemented by historical information. Simultaneous.
This is a reissue of the novel inspired by Hunter S. Thompson's ether-fuelled, savage journey to the heart of the American Dream: We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold... And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas.
William Shea and Patrick Lai have collaborated on a photo documentary showcasing the Las Vegas street art and graffiti scene. Their aim is to create awareness of the untapped potential and hidden merits that street art and graffiti offer to the art community. The book is an 8 x 10 photography collection that spans over 200 pages and boasts 252 high-quality full-color images. The project was completed over several years and features images from all corners of the valley, including the Life is Beautiful Festival. The book's introduction is given by Ed Fuentes, and its upcoming revised second edition will be released by newly acquired Canadian publisher, Third Rail Publications. The new edition will include updated select images and a broader timeline, making it an even more comprehensive guide to street art in Las Vegas.

Little girls all over the world may hope to grow up to become a princess, but few ever realize the dream. For those who grow up to become showgirls, they go far beyond, becoming goddess-like objects of men's desire and the epitome of feminine beauty, elegance, and class. As soon as resort casinos began to dot the dusty Las Vegas landscape, major stars, extravagant show productions, and beautiful women helped promote the city to become the ultimate adult playground. In the early 1950s, when women began to dance and parade on the stages of Las Vegas, the showgirl persona evolved from the seductive burlesque-style performance art to the elegant productions modeled after those staged in France, with women dripping in furs and feathers, or in nothing more than a G-string and rhinestones. The over-the-top Las Vegas productions may have faded into obscurity, leaving but one show, Bally's Jubilee, as the longest running showgirl show on the Las Vegas Strip, but the iconic showgirl will forever represent Las Vegas in all of its glitz and glory.
