As Vegas grows into an entertainment and gambling mecca for tourists, mob syndicates, and performers, the city reflects the social ideals of the era.

The 1960s bring counterculture in contrast to the overt sexuality of Vegas, and while Elvis thrives in his peak years, the mafia experiences their first government crackdown.

Vegas is on the decline in the 1970s, as corporatisation drives away most major performers and Elvis Presley is caught in a gruelling schedule of performing.

The strip explodes with new Disney-fied hotels, casinos, and megastars, highlighting the evolution and continual reinvention of the strip in the face of difficulty.
