"Blue Eyes"... a tribute to Las Vegas! (Updated)

As my previous post about Sinatra - "Blue Eyes"... a tribute to Las Vegas! - brought an impossible glitch to my Blog as no one would be able to leave a comment, nor to see the page correctly displayed in the window, I am reposting it after redesigning it.

It is neither to undersell nor overstate Frank Sinatra's contribution to Las Vegas. He made the city swing... he took the city by storm... he gave Las Vegas something equally important: an image.

Sinatra was a Las Vegas fixture for 43 years, from his first appearance in September 1951 until May 1994. And the city has an intoxicating admiration for the men that put Las Vegas on the map. Sinatra's magic was more easily described: gambling, womanizing, drinking till dawn -- and all of it with style.

He did it all HIS WAY! And this becomes, in many ways, the mantra that caries Las Vegas up to the hills of its success... glamour, gambling, ephithemy of good time, good life and sheer excitement... Sinatra aura brought international royalty and made Las Vegas a global destination. The capital of entertainment.

What if there had been if Sinatra wouldn't love this city? is nearly impossible to imagine, because the rise of the singer and the Vegas Strip were inseparable. "With his little gang of merry men he established forever a sense of free-floating fun and frolic that captured the imagination of the world," Gregory Peck told celebrities two weeks after Sinatra's death in May 1998.
