The book recounts how Las Vegas became the capital of entertainment. The ultimate question that set author Joris Dekkers on a quest from the Mafia and Sinatra in the 1950s to Jay Sarno's Caesars Palace and Howard Hughes in the 1960s. Kirk Kerkorian's International Hotel - starring Elvis Presley - opened the megaresort era, which eventually led to the most lavish destination resorts built by Steve Wynn: The Mirage, The Bellagio and Wynn & Encore Las Vegas.
