Book excerpt: The art of the deal was perfected at the Las Vegas Country Club. For fifty years, the movers and shakers-among them bankers, attorneys, entertainers, business leaders, and, yes, mobsters-have been drawn to "the Beverly Hills of Las Vegas" to play golf, eat lunch, and chart the future of this world-renowned city. From Dean Martin to Kirk Kerkorian, the club's members have been key players in the building of Las Vegas into the major international force that it is today. The brainchild of maverick entrepreneur Marvin Kratter, The Las Vegas Country Club became an iconic community force under the visionary guidance of Las Vegas legends Irwin Molasky, Merv Adelson, Moe Dalitz, and Allard Roen. And it also evolved into the social mecca of a young Las Vegas. The club has a glorious sports history, having hosted many high-profile professional golf tournaments and provided court time for tennis greats. A who's who of celebrities has reveled in the club's lush grounds, including Frank Sinatra, Bill Clinton, Andre Agassi, Bill Cosby, and many more.

Book Synopsis City of Champions by : Jack Sheehan

Download or read book City of Champions written by Jack Sheehan. This book was released on 2012-11. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Las Vegas Founders Club was the driving force behind the PGA Tour, Champions Tour, junior golf, UNLV golf, and, for a time, the LPGA Tour in Las Vegas for about a quarter century. The members of this prestigious group were the who's who of Las Vegas, and dedicated themselves to honoring the game while creating the blueprint of how to promote Las Vegas to the world via golf. The Club blossomed to public life in 1983 under the guidance of golf legend Jim Colbert, who convinced several Vegas power brokers to put up the first million-dollar purse in PGA Tour history. Since that seminal event which included 204 professionals and 832 amateurs over four golf courses, the Las Vegas Founders Club has awarded more than $14 million dollars to many worthwhile Las Vegas charitable organizations and helped create a UNLV golf program that won the 1998 NCAA title. And so much more... To honor the positive impact of the Club and members, this book was created to remember those who have gone before while acknowledging the future of professional golf in Las Vegas, now in the caring hands of the Shriners Hospitals for Children and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
