The Mob and Las Vegas

Las Vegas has a rich and complex history deeply intertwined with organized crime. Figures like Benny Binion, who established the Horseshoe Casino, and Frank Rosenthal, who ran multiple casinos without a state gaming license, are central to this story. Rosenthal’s operations, particularly his pioneering of the first casino sportsbook at Caesars Palace, have left a lasting impact on the city’s gaming industry.

The Mafia’s reach extended beyond gambling, influencing local politics and law enforcement. For example, Jim Ferguson, one of the earliest mobsters in Las Vegas, managed to control bootlegging operations with the help of local officials until federal intervention in the late 1920s.
