The Roy Baugher Photograph Collection (approximately 1965-1979) contains fifteen photographic prints of entertainment primarily at the Desert Inn, Frontier Hotel, and Stardust Hotel, a copy of Vegas Visitor guide from 1970, and a home movie depicting Caesars Palace, the Las Vegas Strip, Hoover Dam, the Big Horn Trading Post, and Gold Spike Inn on 8mm film and in digital format. The materials in this collection were compiled by Roy Baugher III, an independent scholar and artist from Roanoke, Virginia. Baugher compiled these materials as part of his research on the Tokyo Happy Coats, an all-female band from Japan who performed in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Desert Inn and the Frontier Hotel from 1964 to 1970.
