With everyone talking about the Beatles this week to celebrate their 50th anniversary of coming to America for the Ed Sullivan Show, we look back at August, 1964 and remember when the Beatles played the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Interviews with Stan Irwin, the man responsible (along with Herb MacDonald) for signing the Beatles, Don English, the Las Vegas News Bureau photographer who shot many of the iconic photos from that visit, Bill Conger of the LV Sheriff's Department who was working that night and those who were in the audience!
