When an entertainer gate sick, or needs to take the night oft during a heavy business-making engagement, Entratter doesn't have to worry about refunding the audience's money ?╟÷ he simply calls in another star, perhaps one even bigger, for a 'Wight's work." It*s this ability, this affinity to get people to work for him in the Copa Room, and thus draw thousands of the public and millions of their dollars Into the Sands banks, that has been the highlight of the Sands success story. Stars will play for Entratter often at less than they could get elsewhere in the fierce competition of Las Vegas - but they claim they "want to work for Jack." In a world of symbols that signify status, such as the coveted car, the special titje,the certain kind of home, the certain something that makes you feel "youfre in" f the Sands and Entratter unwittingly have become a symbol, too.
