- ... that in June 1955, Noel Coward was paid a reported $160,000 for a four week nightclub performance at the Desert Inn?

- Excuse me, but under 1952-1953, you have Elvis Presley going to the Sands listening to "Hound Dog". He was still in high school and had never been west of the Mississippi River. Perhaps you meant to say that Elvis heard that song at the Sands in 1956. I'm sure it wasn't deliberate, but it could be so easily confused. Also the image of Elvis and Ann-Margret under the same 1952-53 section would seem to be misplaced. Those two didn't make a movie together until 1964. You know how picky Elvis fans can be about such a thing. — Maile (talk) 21:45, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
- No, it doesn't say in 1952-53, it elaborates on the history of the hotel after it was founded.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 12:18, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Needs a review. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:26, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
- Articles don't need to be "fully" referenced. Not every sentence needs sourcing.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 19:25, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
- Every paragraph should, however. And in the 1952–53 section, for example, the two tiny paragraphs are each referenced, but the very big one is not, and needs to be. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:10, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
- Done.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 11:08, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
All ok, though I'll just note that Elvis's Vegas glory years began after he came out of the Army in the 60's. According to our lengthy bio he just did the one 2 week residency in the 50's, which by his own account was a complete flop. He might be removed from the two lists of top attractions, or these be adjusted. Johnbod (talk) 15:58, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
- Done at both places.--Nvvchar. 18:13, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
