History at Home: Las Vegas' Contributions to American Architecture with Alan Hess

Alan Hess, author of the architectural history “Viva Las Vegas” explores the ideas, architects, and culture that created these unique buildings, and explains why they are some of the most original and influential designs in architectural history — and why remaining examples should be preserved.
