Interesting Las Vegas Facts:
The Las Vegas Strip was the brainchild of gangster Benjamin 'Bugsy' Siegel, whose ghost haunted The Flamingo Hotel until 1993 when the original structure was demolished. The ghost has since moved to New York-New York where you can at least get a decent potato latke.
The Fountains Of Bellagio are supplied by 'gray water' that has been reclaimed from the sinks, bathtubs and showers of hotel guests. The aqueous spectacle smelled noticeably of Bengay during a recent Shriners convention.
Atmospheric Nuclear Tests were a popular Las Vegas tourist attraction in the 1950s. It was cheaper than going to see Frank Sinatra and much less dangerous.
The Nevada State Legislature recently chose the Ichthyosaur as the official state fossil. The extinct marine reptile won by fourteen votes, narrowly edging out Tom Jones.
But these tidbits are nothing compared with what you will find in this book: Killer Drag Queens, Sharpshooting Amazons from Texas, UFO Cultists and a Hirsute Holy Man.
"So far, so good," you may be saying. "But what about Black Fishnet Stockings? Does it have those?"
Well maybe yes, maybe no. If you want to find out, you will just have to buy the book.
