Where Sin Abounds

History & Biography

“This book demonstrates the vital, continuing role played by religion in Las Vegas' historical development, and emphasizes the contribution of Pentecostals and evangelicals in spearheading a spiritual revival among Las Vegas strip workers in the 1970s. Flexibility was the key, as Pentecostal churches, backstage Bible studies, and other entities employed innovative approaches that appealed to hundreds of entertainers (including topless showgirls and strippers) and countered employment and recreational practices that daily challenged their faith.”
