CUSTOMER REVIEW:
Fabulous Las Vegas
My initial exposure to Las Vegas began in the late 70's as a very young child. My memories of Vegas are deep, both good and bad. I've never really taken the time to study the town. But recently, I've developed a thirst to examine the rich history and inner workings of this unique city.
Las Vegas - An Unconventional History by PBS is a well-made and informative piece documenting the spectacular rise and continual growth of Sin City.
The early parts of the program focuses extensively on the building of Hoover Dam and its effect on the initial growth of Vegas. Then the Mob is chronicled and credited with their contribution to this town. Early nuclear testing is also talked about along with plenty of footage.
In-between the historical lessons are some short "Vegas People" segments. These people's lives and their means of survival are intertwined with the ebb and flow of Las Vegas life. Also, there's a fat guy with a twangy voice who seems to appear often to lend his expertise about this town.
A couple of special-features include "Making of Las Vegas: An Unconventinal History" and "Let's Face It: A 1950's Civil Defense film on nuclear testing". The "Let's Face It" short is an amusing look at 1950's "propaganda" on nuclear education.
The second part of this program focuses on Howard Hughes, the MGM fire, labor strife, and the grand opening of The Mirage. I enjoyed seeing footage of Vegas from the 70's and 80's, my personal period.
I definately enjoyed watching this and recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about the storied past of this dynamic town.

After a 30 year career on radio in markets from New York to San Francisco to satellite and network, David H. Lawrence XVII decided to make a change. He hung up his headphones and retired from hosting 3 network/satellite radio shows to head to Los Angeles, to concentrate solely on acting in front of the camera.
Lili VonSchtupp* needed a fresh start. She moved to Washington DC and got her dream job. "I did affiliate relations for Online Tonight with David Lawrence. I slowly worked my way into the producer's chair by impressing David with my assets. (not those assets), my ability to make a CAT5 cable Ethernet cable, type (those of you in the chat room-shut up!) and work a phone system.
