Hi friends, happy Wednesday! The other day I was invited to a bachelorette party. And it wasn't one of those simple, one day parties. NO. This was going to be an all-out, wild, expensive bachelorette weekend in… the city of Las Vegas. And I knew exactly what was going to happen. The shots. Thunder from Down Under. $300 dinners. No sleep. And I'm like… why is everyone obsessed with going to this random, expensive city in the middle of the desert?  Don't get me wrong… I love Vegas. But it's kind of surprising that it's still around. I mean, if you think about it, Vegas has almost been canceled over and over and over again.  I mean there was the mob, the recession, covid, inflation… but Vegas *always* seems to find a way to survive. And I had to get to the bottom of why. So join me on this journey as we discuss The Dark History of… Las Vegas.   I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

Las Vegas was a struggling mining outpost until March 19th, 1931, when Nevada Governor Fred B. Balzar signed Assembly Bill 98, also known as the Wide Open Gambling Bill: legalising casino gambling, and setting the stage for town's transformation into Sin City.  When the Boulder Dam project began, drawing thousands of workers nearby, Fremont Street exploded into a Saturday night hotspot. And when mobster Bugsy Siegel opened the Flamingo in 1946, glitzy Hollywood-style resorts followed in his wake, with celebrities like Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack drawing in high-rollers and cementing the city's glamour. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how the Vegas boom was enabled by the election of tough-on-crime L.A. mayor Fletcher Bowron; discover why the City was known as the "Mississippi of the West”; and reveal how a 50-room hotel was once considered a cutting edge attraction in the Strip… Further Reading: • 'How Las Vegas Became a Gambling Mecca' (HISTORY, 2022): https://www.history.com/news/las-vegas-history-mobsters-gambling • 'Nevada marks 90th anniversary of legal gambling' (The Mob Museum, 2021): https://themobmuseum.org/blog/nevada-marks-90th-anniversary-of-legal-gambling/ • The City of Las Vegas: The Early Years (City of Las Vegas TV, 2019): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czyMm5DdqAY #30s #US #Crime #Games #Racism Love the show?

Mickey once said of himself, quote, “I was a pretty fair replica of the devil.” He also killed a bunch of people, and got away with it. A street hustler since he was 6, Cohen gained a rep as a hard-fighting professional boxer despite his short stature, and a rep as a wild-haired stick up kid that never backed down from a gunfight or a robbery. But when he got the call to head back to LA to serve as the number 2/bodyguard for Bugsy Siegel, everything changed. Under Bugsy, Mickey's statue rose sky-high, and he learned about the organized part of organized crime: legit businesses, using charm instead of guns, high society, and all that. He slept with A list actresses, was known for his insanely expensive wardrobe, ran LA's gambling rackets, high class prostitution, controlled labor unions, extortion rackets, was tied into all the movie studios and had an army of shooters. He mixed with politicians, newspaper editors, and every famous actor, and actress, of the era...all while fighting a deadly multi-year war with Jack Dragna over control of LA and the race wire.

Las Vegas, surnommée Sin City , est une ville née au cœur du désert du Nevada, façonnée par l'ambition et l'excès. Dans les années 1930, la construction du barrage Hoover attire des ouvriers et dynamise la région. Durant les années 1940, la Deuxième Guerre mondiale renforce cet essor avec l'installation de bases militaires. Bugsy Siegel, visionnaire, inaugure en 1946 le Flamingo , un hôtel-casino de luxe, marquant l'arrivée de la mafia qui développe le célèbre Strip . Dans les années 1950, Vegas devient même une attraction grâce aux tests nucléaires dans le désert. Les années 1960 voient l'éviction progressive des mafieux, remplacés par des entrepreneurs comme Howard Hughes , qui modernisent la ville. Malgré son opulence et son aura mondiale, Vegas cache un visage sombre : la pauvreté et les SDF , accentués par la crise de 2008, qui ont survécu dans des tunnels souterrains. Aujourd'hui, Las Vegas continue d'innover avec des projets comme la Sphère du Venetian Resort , restant un symbole mondial de divertissement, de démesure et de contrastes.

Bugsy Siegel, Al Capone, Machine Gun Kelly, Clyde Barrow…these are just a few of the most recognizable American gangsters, men who robbed, killed, racketeered, and launched themselves into legend. But what of the women who stood by these men's sides and at times exceeded the men's criminal abilities? In today's episode, I will highlight several powerful women from the underworld: Kathryn Kelly, Bonnie Parker, Stephanie St. Clair, Virginia Hill, Geri Rosenthal, and Liz Renay. Joining me for a conversation is Lissa Rodgers, the author of the recent book "Shameless: Women of the Underworld" who will share insights about these remarkable women and more. Hosted on Acast.

The Italian American Mafia was born out of the Castellamarese War. The Mafia was very much a thing in the United States prior to the war. The difference was the leadership. Old Sicilian Mafia men were called Mustache Petes. These were the guys in charge before the war. They were actually the guys that went to war. The generation of mobsters that grew up in America saw the world of organized crime differently. The new guard ended up whacking the old guard after the war, and the Italian American Mafia was born.

The story of Las Vegas begins with its geological formation in the midst of the Mojave Desert. Native American tribes, including the Paiute people, were among the first to inhabit the region, drawn to its natural springs and fertile land. The name "Las Vegas" is derived from the Spanish term for "The Meadows," a reference to the lush vegetation surrounding the area's natural springs. In the 19th century, Las Vegas was little more than a watering hole for travelers on the Old Spanish Trail, a trade route that connected Santa Fe to California. It remained a small and relatively isolated outpost until the arrival of the railroad in the early 20th century. The completion of the San Pedro, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake Railroad in 1905 transformed Las Vegas into a thriving railroad town, facilitating the transportation of goods and people to and from the area. The real turning point in Las Vegas's history came in 1931 when Nevada legalized gambling, making it one of the first states to do so. The legalization of gambling laid the foundation for the city's transformation into a hub of entertainment and tourism. The construction of the iconic Hoover Dam during the Great Depression also brought thousands of workers to the area, further boosting the local economy. In the 1940s and 1950s, Las Vegas began to embrace the concept of the modern casino-resort. The El Rancho Vegas, built in 1941, is often considered the city's first resort, complete with a casino, hotel rooms, and entertainment options. This was followed by other legendary establishments like the Flamingo, opened in 1946 by mobster Bugsy Siegel, and the Desert Inn in 1950. The 1960s and 1970s saw the rise of mega-resorts like Caesars Palace, The Mirage, and the MGM Grand, all of which featured not only gambling but also world-class entertainment, fine dining, and opulent accommodations. Las Vegas was no longer just a gambling destination; it had become an entertainment mecca. The 1990s brought a new era of growth and diversification to Las Vegas. The city expanded beyond the famous Las Vegas Strip, with the development of downtown and the suburban areas. The 1990s also witnessed the advent of themed resorts like the Luxor, New York-New York, and the Venetian, each offering visitors a unique and immersive experience. The 21st century has seen continued expansion and evolution. Las Vegas has diversified its attractions to cater to a broader audience, including families. The city now boasts world-class shopping, fine dining, golf courses, and a thriving arts and culture scene. Additionally, conventions and trade shows have become a major draw, with the Las Vegas Convention Center being one of the largest in the world. Despite its glamorous image, Las Vegas has faced challenges over the years, including economic downturns and natural disasters like wildfires. However, its resilience and ability to reinvent itself have kept it at the forefront of global tourism. In recent years, Las Vegas has also embraced sustainability efforts, recognizing the importance of conserving resources in the desert environment. The city has made strides in renewable energy, water conservation, and eco-friendly building practices. Las Vegas's history is a testament to its ability to adapt and evolve. From a dusty desert outpost to a glittering metropolis, it has come a long way. Today, it stands as a symbol of extravagance, entertainment, and opportunity, continuing to attract millions of visitors from around the world who come to experience the magic of Sin City.    

So, in this episode, we go to New York in the 1930's where Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, and Bugsy Siegel took over the Mob in New York City, leading to the creation of a National Crime Syndicate, a Commission of Mob Bosses to settle disputes and for those times when disputes just will not settle, they created a group that came to be known as Murder, Incorporated to take care of those who broke the rules. This group committed hits (a term they created) all over the country and worked out of the back of a candy store in Brooklyn. We discuss this group, their rise and their fall, the indelible mark they made on popular culture. But before we discuss this, it is episode 160 so not only does Krysta have her corner, but we play catching up with Krysta in this special historical true crime episode of the Family Plot Podcast!This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4670465/advertisement

In this dog days edition of the BFG podcast, host Neal Pollack welcomes new contributor Chris Lambert to discuss the most important issue of our time: People taking photos of movies while they are in movies. This should be a crime, though Chris remembers a time when movies used to be "more chill." He recalls going to see 'Saw' with his friends in a year when Neal was already a full-blown adult. Regardless of the reason, both Neal and Chris think this trend needs to stop, and they hope that once people readjust to going out in public sometime later this decade, they will stop taking photos of movies while they are in movies. Elsewhere in the world, school districts in Florida are flagging 'Romeo and Juliet' for inappropriate content. Houston, Texas, is closing school libraries and turning them into detention centers. Looks like it's back-to-censorship time. Sharyn Vane joins Neal for a semi-annual discussion of all the ways that school districts are restricting access to books for teenagers. One district is even making it illegal to check books out for yourself if you're under 18 years old. We're not just arguing about 'Gender Queer' anymore. BFG will always be on top of these issues.And we'll always be on top of 'Twisted Metal,' the Peacock adaptation of the 1990's apocalyptic road-rage video game series. Scott Gold is all over this topic, he loves Anthony Mackie and Stephanie Beatriz, who bring a kind of sweet romance to a Mad Max-end-of-the world scenario. And Scott and Neal have nothing but praise for "Sweet Tooth," the crazed blood-soaked clown who rules over Las Vegas and may or may not be based on either Bugsy Siegel or Britney Spears. Regardless, all hail Sweet Tooth, thanks for making August a little more fun.Enjoy the show!

Hello, and welcome to Beauty and the Biz where we talk about the business and marketing side of plastic surgery, and how to perform 3k lip lifts plus 300 facelifts per year. I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of Your Aesthetic Practice – What your patients are saying, as well as consultant to plastic surgeons, to get them more patients, more profits and stellar reputations. Now, today's episode is called "3k Lip Lifts Plus 300 Facelifts Per Year — with Benjamin Talei, MD". One way to differentiate yourself in the marketplace is to work harder than everyone else, which is what enables Dr. Talei to perform 3k lip lifts plus 300 facelifts per year. That doesn't guarantee your success, but it certainly gives you a leg up over your competitors. That's what my next Beauty and the Biz Podcast guest did. Ben Talei, MD, facial plastic surgeon set up shop in Beverly Hills and went to work. For 6 years, Dr. Talei worked 16-hour days, 7 days per week honing his surgical skills and making a name for himself…. …until he had a medial scare and had to slow down. Now Dr. Talei “only” works 12-hour days, 4 days per week providing some of the best results seldom seen. He continues to perfect his techniques and do what others don't, won't or can't. And he uses social media and his before/after photos to set himself apart from everyone else and build a demand he struggles to keep up with. Here are some things we talked about: How he gets photo approval from his private patients How he gets results that others don't Tips for marketing to build up a huge demand and much more Visit Dr. Talei's website P.S.

This week we dive into the life and untimely death of the man who made Vegas what it is today, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel. He was living the high life out in LA rubbing elbows with Hollywood's finest and making his gambling dreams come true out in Vegas until he made one (or a million) fatal mistake.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Happy Spooky Wednesday, everyone! We've got some classic locations for you this week: haunted hotels and an abandoned castle (well, castle adjacent). First, Kala reflects on her recent trip to Las Vegas, NV by discussing Flamingo Las Vegas and Westgate Las Vegas. The Flamingo Hotel and Casino was the desert dream of famous gangster Bugsy Siegel. He was killed before he was able to see the success of the business, but he may be sticking around to oversee his business in the afterlife. But this haunting is mild compared to what happens just off the strip. The Westgate is haunted by none other than the king of rock & roll, Elvis Presley! And he's not the only spirit hanging around the property. Hotel rooms and elevators have their own spirits lingering, especially in the mirrors, the light fixtures, and the showers. You read that right... the showers. And no one wants to see a random hand while showering, right? Well... if you stay at the Westgate, that just might be your experience, and we've got the personal encounter stories to back that claim up. And Brittany tells us all about Squire's Castle in Willoughby Hills, OH. This building gives us gorgeous, renaissance fair vibes, but the lady of the house wasn't as big of a fan. She described the location as "exceedingly rustic" and we don't think she meant that in a good way. And we can't fully disagree... give me indoor plumbing, or give me death. And she may not have escaped this rustic home even in death, as there have been reports of apparitions, the eerie red glow of a lantern, disembodied screams, and orbs. But if you can handle the ghostly activity, it might make an excellent place for a LARPing campaign! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/leftofskeptic/support

CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of allegations of sexual harassment, misconduct, and assault against a writer. Also, misogyny, verbal and physical abuse, murder, humiliation, death. We're going over to the mob this week by discussing the most-nominated film of this Oscars series, and also one of the most boring. It's so dull, it can't even cut through butter. There's a dozen incredibly good stories just waiting to be told about Bugsy Siegel, Meyer Lansky, Vegas, and the mafia in the 40's and 50's, and absolutely none of them get coverage in this movie. No, instead we get a psychosexual abusive romance that somehow is supposed to be the throughline for a bunch of historical exposition and horribly unwarranted violence. The writing is so bad here that there are multiple deserved acting nominations and some really incredible technical achievements and all of them get lost by the wayside. Flip on your screentest and brace yourself as we watch Bugsy on Macintosh & Maud Haven't Seen What?!

In this hour, we spoke about the Turkey and Syria earthquakes, L.A. county passing gun control measures after mass shootings, Lebron James breaking the NBA all-time scoring record and mansion where mobster, Bugsy Siegel, was killed goes up for sale at $17 million.

Chief joins the show to talk about Bugsy Siegel. We get into how there is a character based off of Bugsy in 'The Godfather', his involvement in the mafia, his contributions to modern day Las Vegas, and more.

Benjamin Siegel was a brutal and feared member of organized crime in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. He is also considered one of the forces behind the creation of modern-day Las Vegas. An unknown assailant murdered him in Los Angeles in 1947. His murder remains unsolved. 

Just when you thought you were out, we pull you back in to another episode of L.A. Meekly. This month we're diving into two of the titans of the classic mob era of Los Angeles: Jack Dragna (16:09) and Mickey Cohen (42:30).

In 1944 Brooklyn, newborn Michael J. Hardy is rejected by his mother so she can run with gangster Bugsy Siegel, Hardy's godfather. Shirley Rook quickly rose to the top of the criminal ranks. As the Queen of New York City crime, she laundered Mob money, ran the city's largest bookmaking operation, and handed payouts to dirty cops, politicians, and judges.To win his mother's love and respect, Hardy became a fearless gangster. Throughout his career as a criminal, he robbed banks and drug dealers alike, ran a finger of an international stolen car ring, kidnapped drug lords, and even became a hired gun. At his lowest, he ended up doing time for his mother's counterfeiting operation in Mexico's most dangerous prison.Hardy's criminal code of conduct combines elements of tough Ukrainian Jew and warm Southern Baptist, whether dealing with family and friends or fellow inmates during a combined twenty-six years spent in prisons and jails. He maintained this characteristic gregarious strength throughout his astonishing life in which Hardy was shot eleven times, committed fourteen hits for the Mob, twice wore wires for Rudy Giuliani to nab dirty cops, wrote a letter to JFK to get out of military prison, choked the Hillside Strangler, shared prison time with notorious criminals, and even spent ten years in Hollywood working as muscle for a B-studio, where he was even cast in non-speaking roles.
