Lamb was born in Alamo, Nevada, one of 11 children born to his mother and father. His father, William Grainger Lamb died in a rodeo accident by trying to stop a fractious horse from heading through the crowds on July 3, 1939 in Fallon, Nevada, at the age of 46, when Lamb was just 12 years old. His father was buried at Alamo Cemetery in Alamo, Nevada.[2] Lamb and his siblings took odd jobs to help make ends meet during the Great Depression. He enlisted in the Army and served in the Pacific Theater during World War II. He returned to Nevada and took a position as Clark County Deputy Sheriff. He left in 1954 to start his own private detective agency. In 1958, he ran for election as Sheriff of Clark County, but lost to Butch Leypoldt. Leypoldt served until 1961, where he resigned and was appointed by the Nevada Gaming Control Board. Lamb was named his successor by the Clark County Commission and served until 1979, after losing re-election to John McCarthy in 1978. Lamb spearheaded the charge against the mafia moving into Las Vegas during that time.[3] Lamb ran for election again as Sheriff of Clark County as a Republican and lost to Democrat Jerry Keller on November 8, 1994.[4] On September 25, 2012, a show titled Vegas was aired on CBS, based on Lamb's time as Sheriff. Dennis Quaid portrayed Lamb.[5] The show was cancelled after one season on May 10, 2013. Lamb died on July 3, 2015 at Mountain View Hospital of complications from surgery in Summerlin, Las Vegas, Nevada, at the age of 88.[6][7] See also
