The Rat Pack vs. The Devil for Control of the Strip
Does the Stimulus Package or Jihad have you feeling blue? Then why not hearken back to sunnier times like when La Casa Nostra ruled Vegas and brought us great acts like the Rat Pack. Smoking, drinking, gambling and battling Old Nick – it doesn’t get much better than that. I purchased a print from Bob Lizarraga last year for my dad’s birthday. I really like his style. I’m thinking of ordering a different print for my brother (either Gomez or Grandpa) next week. The selection is a little less than what was there last year but he still has some great stuff. Check out the site if you can.
