Rumblings of Gambling in Hot Springs Arkansas
In Hot Springs Arkansas rumblings of gambling and whisky persist amid a conservative climate. Probes into prostitution, bombings at Vapors nightclub, and a federal inquiry into cross state gambling shadow a city famed for Bathhouse Row and Oaklawn Park. Proposals to legalize gambling faced opposition from Governor Faubus and legislators, while notorious figures like Owens Madden once moved to the resort.
