October 31, 1964: Las Vegas Mayor Oran Gragson and constable Woody Cole swing at a silver railroad spike in celebration of Nevada’s Centennial, with “Cathy Cortez” (center) and “Vegas Vickie” (right).

The original “Vegas Vickie” was a hostess role at the Pioneer Club created in the early 60s, two decades before the famous neon sign of the same name. The role was conceived as, “female counterpart of Vegas Vic,” and described as “official greeter and hostess … she spends most of her time in a cowgirl outfit doing public relations work for the club.” Vegas Vickie was played by least three different woman over the ten years of the role including Elizabeth Ann Wohlfeil in the 1964 photo.

“Cathy Cortez,” was a similar hostess role at El Cortez Hotel & Casino.
