Autorenporträt
Mike Weatherford, author of Cult Vegas, rolled into Las Vegas on October 29, 1987--the last night Frank, Sammy, and Dean would stand on the same stage on the Strip. Beat down by a long drive, he didn't make it to that show, but he's seen plenty of others since then as the entertainment reporter for the Las Vegas Review-Journal newspaper for the past decade-plus. A native of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Weatherford lives in Las Vegas with his wife and daughter.
