Book Review of The First 100: Portraits of the Men and Women Who Shaped Las Vegas

The First 100: Portraits of the Men and Women Who Shaped Las Vegas
reviewed on + 61 more book reviews


Not only has this book been well taken care of, it describes the history of Nevada as told by 100 people (out of many) who played significant roles in it. Many dozens of photographs help fill this very interesting piece about my hometown, Las Vegas. From entertainers, to government and political figures, to resorts activities, the Nevada Test Site, big business and small business development. More culture resides here than many give Las Vegas credit for. This is a great composition.
