Sin City Gangsters is a whirlwind account of how the mob created Las Vegas, building and controlling gambling casinos and buying the favors of influential politicians. The book features such mobsters as Bugsy Siegel, Meyer Lansky, Moe Dalitz, Sam Giancana, Tony Accardo, and Nick Civella, along with their agents and hired guns: Tony Spilotro, Lefty Rosenthal, and Donald Angelini. The casino owners transformed Vegas into an entertainment capital by building billion-dollar-plus resorts and hiring entertainers, such as Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. Sin City Gangsters is the only book that charts Vegas from early mob-owned casinos to billion-dollar resorts; its cast of characters were exceedingly ambitious risk takers who created a glittering mecca of sin and pleasure.
