Sands

Nevada historian Frank Wright tells us a little about the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas, which was torn down this morning. He says it was part of the second generation of hotels - a high rise, coming after an era of bungalows. It's the place where the Frank Sinatra gang "The Rat Pack" performed in the 50's and 60's.
