Come fly with us as we explore the Palm Springs homes and hangouts of the iconic Rat Pack and their era. The 1960s Rat Pack consisted of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Sammy Davis Jr. Joey Bishop and Angie Dickinson were also regulars.

Hollywood and Las Vegas are where they worked and performed, but Palm Springs is where they relaxed, played, and partied. This 90-minute tour features the desert-Modern style homes of Rat Pack members and several of the hangouts that they frequented–many of which still exist.

We'll pass the desert homes of other celebrities of the Rat Pack era like Dinah Shore, Elvis Presley, Liberace, Desi Arnaz and Jack Benny.
