The year was 1960, and the place was Las Vegas. It was a typical night in the city that never sleeps; the lights were bright, the energy was high, and the music was loud.

But on this night, something was different. Little did the people of Las Vegas know, but two of the most iconic figures of the 20th century were in town—Frank Sinatra and John F. Kennedy. The two had met earlier in the year when JFK was campaigning for the presidency, and after JFK’s victory, Sinatra had invited him to come visit him in Las Vegas.

So, on November 19, 1960, JFK arrived in town to spend a few days with Sinatra and his entourage. The two were seen out and about, enjoying the nightlife and taking in the sights. The two were also rumored to have made a few political deals during their stay, including orchestrating a meeting between Arthur Krim and Jimmy Hoffa.

This historic meeting of JFK and Frank Sinatra has become the stuff of legend. Sinatra’s influence on the Kennedy administration was strong, and this was one of the many meetings that helped to shape the country’s future.
