Description

THE ORIGINAL (with 2024 updates)

"My Uncle Al would have loved this book." - Deirdre Capone

Vegas like you've never seen, tales you've never heard - until now. Sizzling, behind-the-headlines stories about the men, the Mob, movie stars, and missing money that made '50s and '60s Vegas such a hot spot in the Nevada desert. Those were the days...

• When Frank Sinatra threw a chair at the casino boss of the Sands and stormed out.

• When all the Mob bosses decided to kill Bugsy Siegel and take over the Flamingo. Did you see the front cover? Look again.

• When millions of dollars walked out of the Stardust count room -- and into the Mob's pockets.

• When playboy and now recluse Howard Hughes bought up Las Vegas.

• When the real Mobsters from the movies Casino and The Godfather were calling the hits.

• When the greatest showroom in Vegas suddenly closed down because of racial discrimination.

• And when that damn Kefauver committee investigated Mob corruption and Americans were glued to their TV sets in living rooms across the country.

Those were the days, all chronicled in 21 unforgettable stories and vintage photos told as only Las Vegas historian Steve Fischer can tell, about those days when the Mob ran Vegas.

Contains profanity and suggestive nudity. Adult readers only.
