Product Description
Join Frank, Dino, Sammy, Joey and Peter in the "Rat Pack's Las Vegas." This unique program traces the history of the Rat Pack, beginning with Frank Sinatra's solo stint as a Vegas headliner when his movie and recording careers crumbled, to his famous "summits" with the rest of the pack at the fabled Sands "A Place in the Sun" Hotel, to the triumphant on-location filming of the Pack's "Ocean's 11" (which showcased as many stars as could make it to Vegas during the filming). The program features rare footage of the Pack in action at the Sands' Copa Room as well as rare stills of John F. Kennedy and other Kennedy Era luminaries. The program also offers frank discussions of the racism that dominated Las Vegas in the 1950's - and Frank Sinatra's heroic efforts to end it for his good friend Sammy Davis Jr. From the birth of the Sands to its razing to make way for today's fabulous Venetian Resort Hotel, the "Rat Pack's Las Vegas" showcases the men and times that buils the myth - and mystique - of America's No. 1 tourist destination.

Customer Reviews
No no no. This is a big, long ad for Las Vegas.
If I knew this thing was produced by the Travel Channel, I never woulda bought it. It's just another Travel Channel advertisement for Las Vegas. And it's filled with interviews of Rat Pack impersonators, for crying out loud.
You're much better off picking up the 2-disc Rat Pack DVD produced by the History Channel. That documentary is much more thorough, contains many more interviews with people who knew the Pack intimately (Tony Curtis, Angie Dickinson, etc.) and, by the way, is a few bucks cheaper! Stay away from this piece discount bin piece of trash.
teh rat pack dvd
Excellent DVD. Would be better if the main focus was not the Kennedy election. Overall, I would buy it again.
The Rat Pack Las Vegas
Great clips. I wish they had added more of the original clips in this video. Overall, great to just get to know the Rat Pack.
