Moulin Rouge

In 1955, one Las Vegas pleasure palace took a risk. Come see the beginning of something new. Come see a young dancer find destiny and love. Come see a casino change the city, and the world. Come see opening night at The Moulin Rouge. Originally appeared in Pulphouse #7.   An Excerpt from Moulin Rouge: “Once The Boys see her, they’re gonna love her!” “Annalee, this here’s Mr. Schwarz,” Hank said. “He wants a word with you.” “Miss Annalee, I’m pleased to meet you,” the new guy said, sticking his hand out like I was folks. “I represent the talent acquisition office of the Moulin Rouge. Not the one in Paris, the new casino and hotel opening in Las Vegas this summer.” I would fly to Vegas on a TWA airliner, can you imagine?
