Summary of al w. moe's vegas and the mob

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Northern Club in Las Vegas got its gaming permit the next day from the Sheriff's Department. The Meadows in Meadow Acres and the Pair-O-Dice out on Highway 91 were licensed during the summer. #2 Luciano had few problems with the law, but he was involved in many fights. He met Meyer Lansky at a street craps game, and they became friends. Meyer was the only one who was able to look into the crazed eyes of Bugsy Siegel and make him understand. #3 Prohibition put every tough, enterprising criminal in the country into business. The likes of Al Capone could never have amassed their fortunes without the government's help. With the tremendous income produced, politicians became so many pawns in the running of gang-controlled cities. #4 Bugsy Siegel was a mobster in the 1920s. He was involved in bookmaking, bootlegging, hijacking, extortion, and loan sharking. He took his lumps, but always returned twice what he got. When he was picked up for questioning by the police, he had a black eye.
