"Having worked in this town for over four decades, I believed I had a deep understanding of Vegas, but this book has unveiled so much more. It offers a unique perspective on the tales you're familiar with and those you're yet to discover." - David Copperfield
Diving into everything from how Las Vegas became synonymous with first-rate magic shows to uncovering who the very first magician on the Las Vegas Strip was, and even how the Hoover Dam influenced magic history, Neon Dreams leaves no stone unturned.
And let’s not forget the highs, like the extraordinary events that allowed legends like David Copperfield and Lance Burton to smash records in magic and showbiz alike. Plus, a nod to Siegfried and Roy, who paved the way for countless performers with their groundbreaking feats.
But it’s not all glitz and glamour. The journey of Las Vegas has seen its fair share of bumps, too. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at the lows—like the multi-million-dollar magic extravaganza that almost met its end on night two and the hurdles faced by Caesar's magical empire.
*Neon Dreams* doesn’t just regurgitate history; it rewrites it. Inside, you’ll stumble upon a stunning revelation regarding the first magician to ever step foot on the Las Vegas Strip. Her tale is as captivating and full of surprises as a well-executed magic trick (seriously, you’ll be wondering how they did that).
