MISSION STATEMENT

To reveal to the public the real truth of the who, what, where and how of organized crime’s history and impact on Las Vegas and the United States, in addition to exposing those who were enabled by the Mob and those that the Mob enabled. Among this group are Las Vegans as well as others, who paved the way for corruption and passed laws to benefit the Mob and all other corrupt individuals.

Las Vegas

Las Vegas had enormous profits from legalized gambling and prostitution and proved to be a strong attraction for organized crime syndicates. In 1945 Bugsy Siegel, one of the most prominent of these criminals, began constructing the Flamingo, the city’s first major casino and hotel complex. He incurred a large debt with Meyer Lansky and other mob associates, and the first months of the Flamingo’s operation were shaky. It opened for good in March 1947, but Siegel was murdered shortly thereafter—according to one theory, at the behest of Lansky and other disgruntled investors—and Lansky immediately took over the business. The Flamingo’s enormous success encouraged more ventures, and several new casinos sprang up along what had become known as the Strip: the Thunderbird in 1948, the Desert Inn in 1950, the Sands and the Sahara in 1952, and the Riviera, the Royal Nevada, and the Dunes in 1955.
