The Mob Tour

Tonight was a great time.
Adam is our roommate. One cool guy. He is a magician and is the host
of a mob tour here in Vegas about the mob in Vegas.
So he comped me a ticket so I could come see it.
What really got me interested in the whole mob subject was a movie.
Casino...
Its a bout some real life characters that lived in Vegas and had mob ties.
Frank Rosenthal and Tony Spilatro


This is a picture of Tony Spilatro (in the very back) His brother (very front) and our mayor now Oscar Goodman. Back then he was Spilatro's attorney.


Its a great story.
Well the mob tour takes you down some of the roads that took place in these mens
lives. Where they lived, hung out, ate dinner, robbed a jewelry store.


Adam in front of Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel's monument at the Flamingo.

Well there is another movie that I enjoyed.
Good Fellas.
Its about Henry Hill, another gangster from New York.
Well tonight I got to meet Henry Hill.
He was on the tour.
Not that impressive if you asked me.
67 years old and has nothing to show for his life except bad health.
His story is fascinating, but the man was disgusting.




Henry Hill is in the middle. Adam is on the right and his friend is on the left. The tour was a lot of fun. I found out some of the darker history of Las Vegas. Adam was a great tour guide.

Some more pictures from the Tour.



Me on the bus before the tour began.


Henry Hill and Me outside the bus.


Yeah I don't know what this is about.


I took this picture at the Flamingo garden. I just thought it was a really
great night shot.
