FLAMINGO WASH: The Era of Magnetic Radiation in Small Las Vegas by Anthony Bondi captures the spirit of the local culture and counterculture of Las Vegas from the 50s to the turn of the millennium. From his personal and archival lens, Bondi’s coming of age in Las Vegas is woven together with the growth of the dazzling city through the historic moments of the atomic fever, the explosive shift as an entertainment destination, arts and culture, and urban development. With unexpected, heartfelt, and comical stories never before told (like Bondi’s experience living in an apartment complex famed for its nudist tenants), Flamingo Wash is not only a personal story, it is a historical and cultural lens into a city that continues to reinvent itself.
