The Rat Pack was an American entertainment collective whose core - Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. - defined the sound and style of early-1960s Las Vegas. Alongside Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop, they performed nightly at the Sands Hotel's Copa Room while filming Ocean's 11 (1960), turning that residency into one of the most mythologized runs in showbiz history. Their blend of swing, jazz, and sharp onstage wit, combined with a public stand against racial segregation in Las Vegas, gave the group a cultural weight that outlasted their era by decades.
The tribute show 'The Rat Pack Is Back' received positive reviews at The Gateway in Bellport, New York, running through February 2026.
A Collider feature highlighted the Rat Pack's anti-segregation legacy, noting how Sinatra, Martin, and Davis Jr. used their influence to challenge racial discrimination in Hollywood and Las Vegas.
