These Amazing Vegas Acts Are Worth Every Penny

The Rat Pack

One of the most famous groups of entertainers to ever exist, The Rat Pack consisted of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford. It their friend Humphrey Bogart (the famous actor) wife, Lauren Bacall, who referred to the group of men as a “rat pack,” and the monicker stuck like glue.

In the early 1960’s they appeared together at the Copa Room after filming location shots for Ocean’s 11, in now-legendary shows now called the “Summit At The Sands.” Some now say Sammy Davis Jr. is the funnest entertainer in history. They were funny, charming, and bantered back and forth on stage, and they were backed by the best band in the land, the Count Basie Orchestra. Sometimes they rolled a bar on stage while they smoked!
