The Rat Pack Getaway
Frank Sinatra and his group of famous friends were dubbed the Rat Pack in the 50s and 60s. Out of all the places in the country, the Rat Pack particularly gravitated towards Las Vegas, Nevada. It was a good place for them to cause the trouble they were notorious for. Sinatra spent his time in Vegas playing golf, partying, and gambling. However, they also created some incredible work.

The Rat Pack actually filmed two movies that were located in Vegas: Ocean’s 11 and Sergeants 3. The group also regularly performed at the Sand Copa Room for excited crowds. At the time, a ticket to their show cost less than $6, but their personalities and chemistry made the show incredibly captivating.
