I miss the personalization that Vegas was - there were showroom captains and all the dealers knew the gamblers by their first names.

I played Vegas at the age of 16 years old, in 1959.

Las Vegas and I both grew up together, and all of a sudden I was doing things that no performer had ever done before.

Elvis and I were very good friends. We were such good friends that, on the day that he passed, I was the first one his father called, to let me know what had happened.

Nobody realizes that Mormons were the first Americans to settle Las Vegas.

When I first met Elvis, we had so much in common and became fast friends.
