It was noteworthy for the large numbers of popular entertainers who performed there, including members of The Rat Pack, Count Basie, Judy Garland, Lena Horne, Jimmy Durante, Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin, Bob Dylan & Phil Lesh and Friends, among others.
It was also the recording venue for several live albums, including Frank Sinatra's Sinatra at the Sands, Sammy Davis, Jr.'s That's All! and The Sounds of '66, and Dean Martin's Live at the Sands Hotel - An Evening of Music, Laughter and Hard Liquor.
The Copa Room's showgirls were known as "The Copa Girls."
The musical director during the Copa Room's 1950s and 1960s heyday was Antonio Morelli.
The showroom took its name from the famed Copacabana in New York City.
