9781728626888. New condition. Trade paperback. Language: English. Pages: 64. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 64 p. 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.
