Abstract

The chapter focuses on how the Las Vegas casinos between 1945 and 1969 constituted a localized moral economy of gambling. Using letters from gamblers to the casino executives, internal memos of the casinos, press articles, and archived oral history interviews, it shows how the mostly white, suburban middle class American visitors reconciled their social conservative views and their faith with gambling and how religious organizations participated in moralizing Las Vegas. It will also investigate how gambling entrepreneurs, many from marginalized religious and ethnic backgrounds, claimed their citizenship by running casinos as successful, legitimate businesses.
