Sammy Davis, Jr., Louis Armstrong, and other A-list black singers and musicians performed at the Moulin Rouge on a regular basis, and for once they were allowed to spend the night in the same hotel where they performed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book explains the important role that the hotel-casino played in early desegregation efforts in Las Vegas.
