Vapors Live, Hot Springs Arkansas
The Story of Vapors Live
Vapors Live is a historic live music and entertainment venue located at 315 Park Avenue in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Originally opened in the summer of 1960, this legendary Las Vegas-style showroom was founded by notorious New York gangster Vincent “Owney” Madden, alongside prominent local gamblers Dane Harris and Harry Hastings.
In its 1960s heyday, it operated as an illegal but openly celebrated casino and lounge, drawing iconic entertainers such as Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Phyllis Diller, and Liberace to its stage.
Today, it has been fully restored and serves as one of the region’s premier destinations for live music, theater, comedy shows, and private events.
