Ben Litvinoff is not just an author; he is a living archive of Las Vegas. For over fifty years, he has stood at the unique crossroads of glamour and grit, operating not from a corner office, but from his salon chair. It was there, amid the hum of hairdryers and the snipping of scissors, that he became the most trusted confidant in a city of secrets. Celebrities, mobsters, power brokers, and everyday souls all shared their unvarnished truths with him, entrusting him with stories that would otherwise be lost to the desert sands.

A celebrated hairstylist since 1976, Ben Litvinoff’s life has been as multifaceted as the city he calls home. He is a seasoned entertainer, having performed as a singer on prestigious national stages and produced musicals that captivated Las Vegas audiences. His deep commitment to community is shown through his leadership, from founding the Friends of Classic Las Vegas to preserve the city’s vibrant history, to serving as a dedicated church worship leader, and volunteering for local charities.

This rich mosaic of experiences, from the spotlight to the sanctuary, informs his writing. He writes with the warmth, wit, and wisdom of a man who has seen it all, offering a perspective that is both intimate and authoritative. Ben Litvinoff resides in Las Vegas with his wife, Rebecca Lee, his partner for over half a century, and their family. His work is a testament to the power of listening, and a gift to anyone who wants to understand the real heart of Sin City.
