Summary

The art of the deal was perfected at the Las Vegas Country Club. For fifty years, the movers and shakers¿among them bankers, attorneys, entertainers, business leaders, and, yes, mobsters¿have been drawn to ¿the Beverly Hills of Las Vegas¿ to play golf, eat lunch, and chart the future of this world-renowned city. From Dean Martin to Kirk Kerkorian, Hank Greenspun to Parry Thomas, the club¿s members have been key players in the building of Las Vegas into the major international force that it is today. Armed with a rich array of exclusive interviews, author Brian Hurlburt tells the fascinating story of The Las Vegas Country Club. The brainchild of maverick entrepreneur Marvin Kratter, the club became an iconic community force under the visionary guidance of Las Vegas legends Irwin Molasky, Merv Adelson, Moe Dalitz, and Allard Roen. And it also evolved into the social mecca of a young Las Vegas. In addition to its essential role in the city¿s business success, the club has a glorious sports history, having hosted many high-profile professional golf tournaments and provided court time for tennis greats. A who¿s who of celebrities has reveled in the club¿s lush grounds, including Frank Sinatra, Bill Clinton, Andre Agassi, Shecky Greene, Bill Cosby, and many more. The Las Vegas Country Club: Las Vegas wouldn¿t be the same without it.
