The Rat Pack’s Las Vegas
October 28, 2008
Join Frank, Dino, Sammy, Joey and Peter in the “Rat Pack’s Las Vegas.” This unique program traces the history of the Rat Pack, beginning with Frank Sinatra’s solo stint as a Vegas headliner when his movie and recording careers crumbled, to his famous “summits” with the rest of the pack at the fabled Sands “A Place in the Sun” Hotel, to the triumphant on-location filming of the Pack’s “Ocean’s 11″ (which showcased as many stars as could make it to Vegas during the filming). The program features rare footage of the Pack in action at the Sands’ Copa Room as well as rare stills of John F. Kennedy and other Kennedy Era luminaries. The program also offers frank discussions of the racism that dominated Las Vegas in the 1950’s - and Frank Sinatra’s heroic efforts to end it for his good friend Sammy Davis Jr. From the birth of the Sands to its razing to make way for today’s fabulous Venetian Resort Hotel, the “Rat Pack’s Las Vegas” showcases the men and times that buils the myth - and mystique - of America’s No. 1 tourist destination.

Great clips. I wish they had added more of the original clips in this video. Overall, great to just get to know the Rat Pack.

THIS WAS A WONDERFUL MOVIE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN FRANK SINATRA. HE WAS ONE HELL OF A GUY AND I LOVE TO WATCH OR LISTEN TO ANYTHING PERTAINING TO HIM. Buy from here…
