Title: "THE MAN WHO INVENTED LAS
VEGAS"
Author: W.R. Wilkerson III
One man's chronic gambling disorder became the
inspiration for modern Las Vegas. Despite owning several successful businesses,
gambler and charismatic publisher Billy Wilkerson almost went broke in 1944.
Gambling's rocky road led him to the inhospitable
Nevada desert in search of an answer to his horrific addiction. In early 1945,
Wilkerson bought a tract of land and began building the most ambitious gaming
complex the world had ever known. His Flamingo Hotel, the new frontier of
hotels, would change the face of Las Vegas and casino gambling
forever.
