Synopsis:
Vegas may be a "family friendly" resort town today, but back in the '40s, 50s, and 60s it was run by the mob for the mob. Gambling might be risky, even deadly, business, but where else could you rub elbows with Howard Hughes, Sam Giancana, Marilyn Monroe, Jerry Lewis, Frank Sinatra? Here are sizzling stories about all of them and an exciting expose on: How millions of dollars walked out of the Stardust Hotel every year and into the Mob's pocket; What really happened when Frank Sinatra threw a chair at the casino boss of the Sands; Who planned Bugsy Siegel's murder and why and much much more.
