Incidentally, DeWood said there would be a closed circuit television system overseeing all of the gambling activities, an "Eye in the Sky" sort of thing, Mitch smiled, or, as some others have already dubbed it, "The Peek." Sammy Davis, at the Sands, is quite possibly the No. 1 night club entertainer of all time. Nobody can touch him. For almost an hour and a half he is absolutely dynamite, a man who can do everything and do it better than you would ever imagine it could be done. "I just came back from London, where I made a movie, 'Salt and with my friend, Peter Law-ford," he savs, "and I appeared at a Royal Command performance for Queen Elizabeth.

It was, by the way, the third time I've done a Command Performance over there. That's really something you know, considering the fact that I haven't been to The Ranch once." Then this: "Thank you so much for being here this evening. I know there are many people in the audience from below the Mason and Dixon line. I welcome you; I'm glad you came to see me 'cause I sure ain't going down there." On this particular occasion, the newly wed Bob Gulps (France Nuyen) were spending their honey moon night at the Sands as Sammy's guests. Bill Cosby, Culp's "I Spy" partner and his best man, was ringsiding, too, with his lovely wife, as were Steve McQueen, Ed Ames, and Burt and Jane Boyar, who collaborated with Sammy on his excellent autobiography, "Yes I Can." Sammy had Bill Cosby come up on the stage.

Then he couldn't get him off. There was a comedian named Karl Barrie on the show, too. He should get into some other line of business. Later, in the Celebrity Theater of the Sands. Danny Thomas was a surprise guest at the end of Louis Prima's performance.

Sammy Davis walked in from the wings and surprised Danny, then started to go. "Where arc you going?" Danny asked. "In th back, I'll wait there for you," replied Sammy. "You don't have to wait in the back anymore," Danny told him. "don't you know, I bought the bus line." In the Ccbbrity Theater, there is a line of girls called The Playmates, and they really dance up a storm.

Their singer is an 18-year-old lovely called Patti Michael, who can't miss being a big star some day and don't forget the name or that you read it here first. One of the featured Playmates is the uninhibited Algean Evans. She shakes the rafters and rocks th floors. srntti mii.i iiioi fgf MAMir- i St-Ti in. f'- tt -i, kkl rim ii i Hi Tumi 0 'rm imur MATINEE TODAY and EVERY DAY thru JAN.

Terence also starred in Hardy's famous "'The Penthouse' is the very model of a cool, sadistic Mod movie!" New York Daily News PARAMOUNT PICTURES presents KTERC0WNS0NS CONTINUOUS MATI.NEES DAILY THROUGH NEW YEAR'S PAYI SMI CHILDHOOD CPICY HIT THE YEAR'S No. 1 SONG 1 -Oi i the globe, of course; money continues to flow at the gaming tables like water, an unending reservoir of it, and from the air. as the jet flies, the neon-flecked Strip, lined by one fabulous hotel after another, resembles a spectacular rainbow suddenly rising up out of the desert sand.

And now a brand new excitement has been added. His name is Howard Hughes. He has picked up four big Vegas Inns already, a television station, several other packages of property and has offered to build the town, free of charge, the world's very first supersonic airfield. The time is not far away, people in Vegas in-glst, when Europeans will fly over just for the day. The man nobody sees Mr.

Hughes supposedly occupies the entire Penthouse floor of the Desert Inn with his wife, Jean Peters, the former actress, although this cannot be verified either has launched more gags than Serutan once did. In the "Bottoms Up" revue at Caesars Palace, Nancy Austin, a plump comedienne, says; "I'm the only acre in Las Vegas Howard Hughes hasn't put in a bid for yet." Marty Allen, the Pittsburgh comic, and his partner, Steve Rossi, were just closing a four-week stand at the Riviera Hotel, their third engagement (a record for any act) at this spot in a single year, prior to opening one at the Latin Casino outside Philadelphia, and had distributed 50.000 badges bearing the legend "Hello Dere," which is, you know, Marty's catch-line, and the whole" town was wearing them, even opposition acts and people at other hotels. "They have done tremendous for us each booking, al-wavs better than the time he-fore," says Tony Zoppi, the Riviera press-agent and a Dallas columnist before he went straight, "and we're closing a deal now for them to come back in 13 when-eer they're free and at their own convenience. They have a home away from home here at the Riviera." So, apparently, does Shccky Greene. He's in the Riviera lounge, and one of the funniest men alive.

A good actor, too, as Mr. Greene demonstrated playing a straight role in Frank Sinatra's "Tony Rome." The other night Judy Garland dropped in for Shccky's late, late show, and just like that, in her honor, he put on a condensed version of Garland's "Wizard of Oz," playing each role, and Garland both laughed and cried for an hour. Pittsburghers in Vegas: Milt Morris now manages the swanky H. B. Burnett dress shops in four hotels, the Dunes.

New Frontier. Riviera and Stardust Jackie Heller, the host in the Sands' Celebrity Lounge for the past five years, will hit the three score" mark next spring and still looks like a juvenile. He and Phyllis, by the way. have a 20th' wedding anniversary coming up shortly Danny Hall, who was a baccarat dealer for another Pitts-burgher, Milt Jaffe. at the Stardust casino, has moved to the Aladdin Hotel baccarat operation, not as ft dealer, however, but as its boss Sal La Perch a working musician in Vegas for a long time, said his father, a fine man, too, on the horn in his day, has just come back to Pittsburgh after several years in Fresno.

where he owned a restaurant Vegas will open a brand new hotel yes, another one in mid-January, the Landmark, which for years has been the dream of its owners, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Caroll, formerly of Kansas City. It was actually started in 1961 but has been delayed time and again by a variety of difficulties, most of them financial. However, it is just about completed now.

and a fantastic structure the Landmark is, too nearly 30 stories high, with a two-decked, mushroom-like top that will house a casino, a gourmet dining room, a coffee shop, a lounge, a dance floor and half a dozen bars. On the ground floor, there will also be a casino, a lounge, a show-place seating nearly 1.000, a dining room and duplicates of everything in the sky area, which looks cut through picture windows over the entire valley and is indeed a magnificent sight at night.

Even then you don't entirely believe it The spectacular "Pzazz! 68" at the Desert Inn received rave reviews from the Vegas and Los Angeles critics, and spectacular is indeed the word for this show, hut it is over-rated and can't compare with the Inn's previous "Hello, America." which ran for more than two years Jimmy Grippo, the veteran magician who headquarters at Caesars Palace, asked to he remembered to Del Kay (he wants your address, Del) and Dr. Steve Rrodie A lady who runs a daily gardening column in one of the two Las Vegas papers calls it "The Weedcr'i Digest."
