Las Vegas and the Mob
There's a great deal of myth that has sprung up over the years about the Mob and Las Vegas. From "Bugsy" Siegel to "Lefty Rosenthal, the stories are colorful, sometimes apocryphal but are they true?
On Thursday, Sept. 4th, Untold Stories will take a look at Las Vegas and the Mob.
Joining us for a Roundtable Discussion will be CSN History Professor Dr. Michael Green, Local historian and curator Brian Paco Alvarez, former News Bureau manager Don Payne and former FBI agent Dennis Arnoldy.
We will examine the era "when the Mob ran Vegas" and separate the myths from the facts. It should be a fascinating evening of history and stories that you don't want to miss.
Come early and enjoy the Farmer's Market or stop by enjoy some music with your wine.
The discussion begins at 7:00 pm in the Desert Learning Center.
