Before movies such as The Hangover, 21, and Ocean’s Thirteen, there were the classics such as Viva Las Vegas, Casino, and the original Ocean’s Eleven. Before the phrase “What happens in Las Vegas..” there were characters such as Wayne Newton, Elvis Presley, and the Rat Pack who depicted the rise of a cultural movement starting as early as the 1920′s and the birth of an entire city, the legendary Las Vegas, Nevada.
