Las Vegas Chamber Leaders Drive Air, Media Boosts in 1930s
In the 1930s Las Vegas saw the Chamber of Commerce led by Bob Griffith push to keep Las Vegas as a Western Airlines landing site, break Western's monopoly with a Boulder City airport plan, and promote TWA routes. The city gained night beacons, air links to Winslow and San Francisco, and a growing aviation network. Publicity schemes with Paramount aided a Paradise Valley nude-nymph caper and later sparked national attention when Rhea Gable sought divorce residence here. Helldorado and Union Pacific partnerships followed, helping seed the Desert Sea News Bureau.
