Talking With Larry Gragg – October 26, 2020

This week, Ira spoke with Larry Gragg, author of “Becoming America’s Playground, Las Vegas in the 1950s.” In this episode, Gragg talks about the confluence of events that propelled Las Vegas into the consciousness of America; why local leaders and institutions coalesced around the idea of making Las Vegas a tourist destination; and the three people from that era he thinks were responsible for setting Las Vegas on the road to success.
