SUMMARY:The Mafia And The Building Of Las Vegas
DESCRIPTION:Fabulous Las Vegas has gone through several fascinating eras! It was a desert town that grew when the railroads came through. Las Vegas accommodated the railroad workers\, a wide-open culture of brothels\, saloons\, and gambling developed in the dusty desert outpost. \nIn the 1940s\, Bugsy Siegel convinced the Mafia leaders of New York City that the obscure Nevada city would be the perfect spot to build a fabulous resort and casino. It would serve two essential purposes for La Casa Nostra – it would make vast amounts of money. It would serve as a clearinghouse to launder money made in illegal activities.  The fantastic Flamingo \n \nhotel was the result. It opened the door to the transformation of Las Vegas and shifting alliances\, strategies\, and leadership in the Mob. \nWe will explore the colorful personalities (including Frank Sinatra and his cronies\, the  Rat Pack)\, strategic alliances\, and unexpected twists and turns that allowed the Mob to make Las Vegas a mecca for entertainment \n \ngambling and adult fun – until the law caught up with them.

SUMMARY:JFK - A Life
DESCRIPTION:JOHN F. KENNEDY – A LIFE\n \nJFK is one of our most beloved and well-known Presidents. However\, much of what we “know” about John Fitzgerald Kennedy is fragmentary: his dalliances with women\, his heroism in the aftermath of PT-109\, his glamorous wife\, and his horrific death. We know parts of the Kennedy story\, but it can be hard to separate myth from history when it comes to a man as complex as JFK! \nIn this fast-moving\, insightful and fascinating multimedia presentation\, you will be mesmerized by the details of: \nHis very dysfunctional parents \nJFK’s complex medical problems \nHis unusual schooling\, including missing large chunks due to serious illnesses \nJFK’s actions before\, during\, and after the sinking of PT-109 \nHis political career \nJFK and women \nHis complicated marriage. \nThe Rat Pack And JFK \nThe Assassination \nAnd so much more!
