We are talking Vegas baby, starting with the Mob. Skimming, gambling, sports bets, murder, you name it the mob had their hand in it. First on the scene in the 40’s, Ben “Bugsy” Siegel, seeing an opportunity to make money and reinvent himself, he started building Vegas’s first hotel/casino resort. Bugsey’s time in Sin City didn’t last long but what he started led to the Mob controlling Vegas for the next 40 years.
