About This Item

San Antonio, Texas: The Naylor Company, 1963. Hardcover. In quite good condition./No dust jacket. Octavo, [21.5cm/8.5inches] full ebony-embossed red-eyed cloth sans dust jacket, pp. 123, indexed. Fully Illustrated with Please feel free to ask particulars and/or additional snapshots. In quite good condition. ... The original "Sin City" designation dates back to 1906 and an area called Block 16, which was on First Street between Ogden and Stewart avenues, according to the Las Vegas Sun. This area and the nearby Block 17 were legally allowed to sell liquor, offering drinks to railroad travelers and workers. Block 16 saloons soon started renting out back rooms or upstairs areas to prostitutes, who would give the bar a cut of their earnings. One of the early saloons, The Arizona Club, also became a gambling hall in 1912. All of Sin City's vices were fully available more than 100 years ago, long before the era of mobsters with casino connections
