Lorraine and her family are pioneers of the Las Vegas business community. Her family moved to Henderson, Nevada in 1943 from Niagara Falls, NY. She graduated Las Vegas High School and attended Westlake College of Music in Los Angelos, California. She began her musical studies at the age of nine and embarked on a professional music career at age 18, performing as a vocalist on the Las Vegas Strip, and in Reno, and Lake Tahoe. She appeared on national television shows such as The Ed Sullivan Show, The Red Skeleton Show, and CSI. In the late 60's, Lorraine's voice was heard on many famous radio and television commercials as the voice of the Tropicana Hotel's Les Folies Bergere, The Desert Inn, and the Landmark Hotel (which she opened in 1969 with her group The Lauri Perry IV). Ironically, in 1995, as Chair of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitor's Authority, Lorraine imploded that same historic Howard Hughes property as part of the filming of the satirical motion picture Mars Attacks.
