Product Details

On May 24th 1955 the first racially integrated Hotel and Casino opened in the gambling boom-town of Las Vegas, Nevada. Built on the Westside, the African-American enclave housing the entire Black population of the city during the Jim Crow era, the iconic ‘Moulin Rouge’ would become legendary. Leading lights of entertainment, black and white, played to mixed audiences within the same time frame as the Emmett Till murderand the heroism of Rosa Parks. Local filmmakers Stan Armstrong and Gary Lipsman tell the story of how, in the short span of only six months, history was made in the unlikeliest of places. Plagued by fires and rumors of Mob connections, investors still came with plans and dreams for its future, including Sarann Knight Preddy, the first African-American woman to receive a Nevada gaming license. Ultimately all would fail,and today it stands as a vacant lot. Owners, management, entertainers, and ex-employees, such as Maurice Hinds Sr. share their memories along with contributions from others such as the Hon. Oscar Goodman, Review Journal columnist John L Smith,and Michael Green PhD. Three years in the making, Desert Rose Productions brings this modern phantom out from the shadows and into our new light as a living myth in"The Misunderstood Legend of the Las Vegas Moulin Rouge.
