By the early 1960s, the population of Las Vegas was over 92,000, and the city was thriving with development projects, especially the casinos and hotels. The biggest stars of the era were invited into hotels, casinos, and showrooms, such as Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Peter Lawford, Andy Williams, Peter Lawford, Sophia Loren, and several others.
