(Part 2) Top products from r/vegas

Not at all a speak easy but Frankie's Tiki Room is a very small tiki dive bar that has some of the best handmade drinks(there's over 70 drinks but only a few actually on the menu. The owner released a book that has all of them - book- ) . Best part about it besides the rum is that it isn't full of typical Vegasians.

Be warned there is smoking allowed in there and your clothes will be fully saturated in the smell when you leave.

I liked "Beautiful Children". It's pretty dark, takes place in Vegas. Fiction.

Check out The Mob Museum gift shop, they have tons of selections. I picked up When The Mob Ran Vegas (https://www.amazon.com/When-Mob-Ran-Vegas-Stories/dp/0977065804) there and it was a really interesting read.

Here's the best Siegel biography I've read:
[Larry Gragg's Siegel bio] (https://www.amazon.com/Benjamin-Bugsy-Siegel-Gangster-Flamingo/dp/1440801851)

Some really great stuff there, including a thorough investigation of the myth/rumor that Siegel had the chance to kill Hermann Goring and Joseph Goebbels. Gragg uses actual sources, including interviews with people who knew Siegel first-hand, to reconstruct Siegel's life.

For Las Vegas history I would go with Resort City in the Sunbelt.

As for Nevada history, I liked The Silver State.

Are they better than [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Demon-WP-Envelopes/dp/B0035AM6NG)? I was told it was professional grade.

Any window retailer can order custom sizes. Also, have you considered some thing like this.

Well, if reading Bringing Down the House taught me anything ... Strippers.

It's a wild story and ultimately, Michael Madsen (aka Mr. Blonde) helped my movie get distribution and in front of the audience. It's also available here on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R6YJ1RP

If you want an old book, there is the "Green Felt Jungle" from 1963 although it's been decades since I read it.

There is a radio show segment in town on NPR called "Nevada Yesterdays"... googling for the link also returned this associated [book](

Buy this and put it all along the walls

I have never heard of a class but this book is incredible. History, technique and all things sushi.

The Money and the Power: The Making of Las Vegas and Its Hold on America

It's about the people who built Vegas.

Is this the book?

St. Thomas, NV, is a ghost town located 65 miles northeast of Las Vegas, within the boundaries of Lake Mead National Recreation area (just past Valley of Fire, where VoF Highway meets Northshore). It was founded in 1865 and existed for more than 70 years until it was flooded by Lake Mead following construction of the Hoover Dam. St. Thomas sat underwater for more than six decades until drought exposed the ruins in 2002.

I took this photo in late 2018 looking east toward the Gentry Store and, behind it, the town's post office.

For those interested, I wrote a novel set in the town, Lords of St. Thomas (Amazon, Goodreads), that is based loosely on the final resident to leave the town in 1938. There is also a history book written on the town, St. Thomas: A History Uncovered, which I recommend!
