Vegas Dynasty: The Story of Darwin Lamb Carol Bellhouse
The Lambs were the Kennedys of Vegas, movers and shakers in a town cutting its teeth on wealth and power. When Bill Lamb was killed in a horse wreck in 1939, his eleven children climbed from tragedy to dominance. Often on horseback and always ready for a good story or a good fight, they were the most powerful family in Las Vegas for five decades. Darwin was a little boy when his father died at 46, the age at which his father before him died, also in a horse accident. Darwin trapped for pelts and raised orphan lambs to help the family survive. He lived through a heart attack at 18 and went on to succeed in politics, business, movies, music, rodeos and hunting. In his time, he saw it all. This is the riveting story of his life and a history of the Lambs and Vegas.**
