History of the Beginning of the Vegas Lounge Scene

Everyone likes a good story.  Well, here’s one for you straight from the golden age of Las Vegas lore. The first group to play all night casino lounges was the Marry Kaye Trio.  Marry Kaye was a direct descendent of Queen Lili’uokalani, the last in a long line of Hawaiian Royalty. Mary observed that the gambling floor cleared out after hours even though the casino was open all night.  She persuaded the boys in charge to build a stage in the corner of the room and let her trio perform during the late night hours.  And so a gambling oasis climbed in bed with music entertainment and the Vegas lounge scene was born.
