 Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel and George Raft

 Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal

 

From Guy McAfee to Bugsy Siegel to Moe Dalitz to Frank Rosenthal and
Tony "The Ant" Spilotro, the Mob has had a hold on the imaginations of
most people who love "classic" Las Vegas.

This Friday I will be giving a  talk that will cover not only the
historical points but also talk about the difference between guys like
Benny Binion and Moe Dalitz and "Lefty" and "The Ant".

Also, I will have autographed copies of my book "Las Vegas: 1905-1965"
for those interesting in purchasing one or more!

I'd love to get a head count (even an approximation) so I can be sure
that we have enough chairs! You can email me or post here, either way will work!

3:30 pm Friday, June 5th

El Cortez Upstairs

Hope to see you there!
