About This Item

Miss Atomic Bomb 1957

This TB is a magnet commemorating Las Vegas' Miss Atomic Bomb 1957.

This TB reminds us of the early days of the Nuclear Age. "Atomic Fever" was the rage across the U.S. Designers of everything from clocks to lamps to dinnerware adopted the "Atomic Style". High Schools across the country named their football teams the Atoms.

After the April 22, 1952, televised broadcast of an atomic bomb test in Nevada, atomic culture swept the nation, and Las Vegas became the epicenter of the craze. The mushroom cloud associated with the bomb became an icon for Las Vegas, adorning postcards, candy, toys, showgirls' headdresses and more. Las Vegas establishments like the Flamingo and the Sands hawked the Atomic Cocktail, the Atomic Hairdo and Miss Atomic Bomb beauty contests.

The Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce issued a calendar for tourists, listing the scheduled times of the bomb detonations and the best places to view them. The Sky Room at the Desert Inn, offering a panoramic view of the Nevada horizon, was a favorite watch spot of tourists, as was nearby Mount Charleston. Many tourists packed "atomic box lunches" and had picnics as close to ground zero as the government restrictions would allow. On the eve of detonations, many Las Vegas businesses held "Dawn Bomb Parties." Beginning at midnight, guests would drink and sing until the flash of the bomb lit up the night sky.

We hope She's Da' Bomb shines her light in caches around the world.
