I agree.Even today, many of the stars case out after their opening shoo at the Sands, to ask him what he kinks of their opener, should they trim it down, what should they do about this rough spot, etc. It should be very rewarding to Hr. Entratter to take a look around at the valuable piece of real estate that he calls the Sands. Ten years ago, it was pretty barren desert - but he and Ids partners threw a few fancy bricks together - about $4,000,000 wordh - and over the masonry and lawns Entratter sprinkled the stardust that he had worked with, befriended, and who liked him. The result * 10 years later he has the top star showpiece in the world, where he presents not one star at a time, but clusters such as Sinatra, Martin, Sammy Davis, Joey Bishop, Peter Lawford in one tumultous show he calls the "Summit?ǥ show. Vftien an entertainer gets sick, or needs to take the night off 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 fear him in the Cope Boom, end thus drew thousands of the public end millions of their dollars into the Sands banks, that has been the highlight of the Sends success story.
