A chronicle of Vegas during the glamorous ’50s and ’60s by a newspaper reporter and publicist who was in the thick of it — the proverbial fly on the wall.
Imagine what it must have been like to be in Las Vegas during its most glamorous and eventful years: the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.
Back then, “the boys” ran the town, dinner shows were a dollar, and vacant lots on what’s now the Strip sold for $5 an acre. Tallulah played baccarat, Shecky shot dice, and Frank dealt blackjack.
Fly on the Wall chronicles those times, as well as the men and women who shaped them.
As a reporter for two of the city’s most respected newspapers and a publicist for two of the city’s most infamous casinos, Dick Odessky was in the thick of it — the proverbial fly on the wall. His recollections of Las Vegas’ good old bad old days put you in the thick of it, too.
