    18?½ 1 Today, Jack worries over 465 rooms, another 83 biing built to be ready by Anniversary Time, and another 328 in an 8-story building to be started in March. That'll make 876 rooms 0 which means a house of 1600 people at full occupancy - and 727 employees. fl The tips of the entertainment magnet that Jack uses to keep this house full and prosperous are soldered with solid gold - in the form of the greatest talents in showbusiness. In powerhouse succession, every three or four weeks, he offers to the public Danny Thomas - Lena Borne - Red Skelton - Carol Burnett - Frank Sinatra - Jerry Lewis - Sammy Davis, Jr. - Dean Martin Hat Xing Cole - Peter Lind Reyes and Mary Realy - Vie Demons ?╜ Steve Lawrence and EydffteGorme - Paul Anka ?╟≤ Jan Murray - Allen & Rossi* Those are just the steady heavy weights, which can be counted upon to put 1050 people into the Cope Room every night, night after night, week after week, and year after year. Entratter has sprinkled a few other great names into his star field of clover, such as Tallulah Bankhead - Judy Garland - Marlene Dietrich - and Van Johnson. The gold-tipped magnet drew - the Sands grew. And is still growing as Entratter replates the tips with new stars, new attractions, new innovations in the mad scramble for business* producing entertainment that is Las Vegas today.
