| Publisher Description: What happened in 1953 Vegas did not stay in Vegas thanks to the vibrant letters from "Sin City" by Virginia Cary Hudson. Virginia, the child author of O Ye Jigs & Juleps , demonstrated the same lively spirit and sharp wit, deepened by wisdom, when she was approaching sixty. Virginia captures the essence of Las Vegas and its people--celebrities, miners, gamblers, hotel workers, dancers, and Native Americans, with empathy, humor, and acute perception. Her letters open a window on everyday life in 1953, the year that Las Vegas opened a racetrack. |
