Member to Appear on American Restoration

Las Vegas Media Group member, Andy Martello, has informed us that on April 18th he will appear on the History Channel's show, American Restoration. 

We met Andy a while back because he has the same last name (but no relation to) as Willie Martello, the owner of long-defunct El Rey Club in Searchlight, Nevada.  I knew someone who was researching Willie and I came across Andy's blog and contacted him.  Although Andy is not related to Willie, nor is he an "hier to the throne" of the El Rey, he became so interested in the history of both that he has decided to write a book.  In his quest for research material he has also collected numerous El Rey Club memorabilia.  That's how he came into possession of a billboard of the club and to be featured on the History Channel program.

To find out more about Andy and his passion, check out his blog at Andy Martello's El Rey Club Project. 

The show airs locally (Las Vegas time). For more on American Restoration visit http://www.history.com/shows/american-restoration

Congratulations, Andy.  We'll all be tuning in on April 18.
