In the 1950’s Prima made his way to Las Vegas and is now considered an integral part of the Vintage Vegas Era. He was perfect for this burgeoning town where guests were clamoring for entertainment and before long Prima, along with his with Keely Smith, became one of the biggest acts in town, selling out at the Desert Inn, Sahara, The Sands, and The Hilton. Even the Rat Pack recognized his amazing talent and could be spotted in the audience watching the “Wildest Show” in Vegas.
