In Part 1 I described three well-known athletes: boxer Sonny Liston, baseball pitcher Bo Belinsky and tennis great Pancho Gonzales. I’ve also speculated that for the longest time Las Vegas had a stigma that led the next-of-kin of many prominent folks to dig elsewhere. You need famous live bodies to produce famous dead bodies. Why? The city was founded barely a century ago, in 1900, and as late as 1950 still had fewer than 50,000 residents. Even though the Las Vegas area has a population topping 2.3 million, there are remarkably few final resting spots here of people famous outside the Las Vegas area, no more than 20 by my count. It’s time for Part 5 of my periodic series about the few famous graves of Las Vegas and how they came to be here.
