I have heard there was a connection, but right now I can't come up with it. Here is the only connection I have of Bill Miller in Las Vegas.

Miller went on to Las Vegas, where he is credited with developing the modern-day lounge act, and became known as “Mr. Entertainment,” bringing in stars including Mae West and Elvis Presley, and introducing the public to talent such as Sonny & Cher.
