The Rat Pack was a nickname given to a group of 1950s entertainers, which included Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford. The Rat Pack often performed in Las Vegas and were part of the reason that Las Vegas became such a popular entertainment destination.

The Rat Pack made several movies together which include: Ocean's Eleven (1960) and Robin and the Seven Hoods (1964).

The term "rat pack" was assigned to the group by Lauren Bacall, after seeing them return from a night of partying. (The term rat is presumably meant in the sense of a dubious person or scoundrel).
