Oh, sure, "The Sahara," "The Riv," and "The Trop" came close, but no casino epitomized classic, vintage Vegas quite like The Sands! After all, it was the headquarters of The Rat Pack! The era-defining showroom of The Sands hosted only the best of the best and lured visitors from around the world; as did the world-class gambling (occasionally with celebrity card-dealers like Dean Martin); the resort itself was a celebrity. Host Steven Maggi chats with David Schwartz about his great new book "At the Sands: The Casino That Shaped Classic Las Vegas, Brought the Rat Pack Together, and Went Out With a Bang." And speaking of books, listen for details on pre-ordering the new book "You Thought It Was More" the story of "Louis the Coin" Colavecchio the world's greatest counterfeiter.
