In 1954, Mae West starred in her own Las Vegas stage show
at the newly opened Sahara Hotel, singing while surrounded by bodybuilders. The
show stood Las Vegas on its head. "Men come to see me, but I also give the
women something to see: wall to wall men!" West explained. Jayne Mansfield
met and later married one of West's muscle men, the former Mr. Universe, Mickey
Hargitay. Also among the bodybuilders were future Euro-western stars Gordon
Mitchell and Dan Vadis. The show closed in 1957.
