Vegas: The City the Mob Made

An exploration of the Mob's beginnings and influence in the city of New York

Before the Mob made their mark in Las Vegas, the town was a barren one.

The Mob's influence started growing during the 1920s and 1930s.

To lure in additional visitors, Vegas became the destination for top performers, innovative tourism tactics and big payouts!

Spectacle invades the city that never sleeps and a technological revolution takes place.

As the old Mob dwindles, a whole new Mob starts to take over.

Through regulation and investigation, the Mob was forced out of Vegas to keep the city "clean"

The 1990s brought about changes to Vegas where corporations and large businesses transformed Vegas to the city we know today.

In the 21st Century, Vegas must uphold its reputation as one of America's most famous cities.
