How The Mafia Built Las Vegas: The Untold Story

Las Vegas was a desert outpost — a lonely stop on the road to nowhere. But in the mid-20th century, it was transformed into a glittering empire of neon, vice, and money. Behind that transformation was not chance, nor visionaries, but the Mafia. From the smoky backrooms of Chicago and New York to the rising casinos of the Strip, mobsters funneled millions into the desert. They built resorts where gangsters rubbed shoulders with Hollywood stars, politicians, and businessmen. They skimmed fortunes from the tables, fixed deals in shadows, and turned Las Vegas into the gambling capital of the world. This is the untold story of how organized crime carved a city from the sand — of Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky, of hidden investors and silent partners, of blood spilled as easily as champagne poured. It is the story of power and corruption, of greed and glamour, and of how the Mafia built Las Vegas into the kingdom of sin that defined an era.
