"Sin City Secrets: The Mobsters Who Shaped Las Vegas" delves into the intricate relationship between organized crime and the development of Las Vegas, revealing how mobsters influenced the city's transformation into a gambling mecca. The book is structured in five parts, each chronicling different eras of mob involvement in Las Vegas from the 1920s to the present day. Part 1 explores the origins of organized crime during Prohibition, highlighting figures like Bugsy Siegel and Virginia Hill, who played pivotal roles in establishing criminal networks that would later target Las Vegas.

The Beverly Hills Supper Club was Vegas before Vegas was cool. It was known as the "Showplace of the Nation" before it burned to the ground in 1977, killing at least 165 people - one of the worst fires in US history. But few knew that the Beverly Hills had a violent past of deadly arson beginning in 1936, when it was taken over by the Cleveland mob that ran "Sin City" in Newport, Kentucky - an open city of prostitution, extortion, gambling, and violence for decades, until new US Attorney General Bobby Kennedy went to war on the mob in 1961.

Or you’d get to see Elvis at the International or Sinatra at the Sands.
