Ben 'Bugsy' Siegel: The Father of Las Vegas

Born Jewish, Benjamin 'Bugsy' Siegel grew up proving himself on New York's tough, primarily Italian streets. Teaming up with 'Lucky' Luciano and Meyer Lansky, he gained notoriety with Murder Inc., but his real calling card was his Hollywood charm. His legacy was sealed when he turned the dream of a desert casino into a world-famous attraction. Now, Las Vegas and 'Bugsy' are forever linked.
