This documentary does not try to cover too many bases nor does it become a collection of anecdatoes. Rather, this doc puts the entire history of Vegas into a context that shows its evolution through the decades as American tastes change.
Paul Anka, Wayne Newton and Rich Little are the topliners but the former showgirls steal the show with their no-nonsense delivery.
Any one of the four episodes could easily be expanded into a four hour miniseries on its own, but this is well-edited, fast and informative.
Obviously a big budget was used since some of the cinematography is stunning and the talking heads are quite knowledgable all with a sly sense of humor.
