My invitation to the press event offered a peak at a new exhibit
“The Las Vegas Mob Experience” which is open at the
Tropicana Hotel.

I interviewed Jay
Bloom, Managing
Partner of Murder,
Inc., with
Eagle Group
Holdings. Jay
explained, “The
boys are coming back to town.
Our Mob Experience is unprecedented because there
has never been anything like it before.
We have the mobster’s relatives who are going to tell a lot of their
secrets.

A number of these
families are very
private and have
not
talked
to the press.
There is Millicent
Rosen (daughter of
Benjamin
“Bugsy” Siegel),
Meyer Lansky, II (grandson of Meyer Lansky),
Cynthia Duncan (granddaughter of Meyer Lansky), Antoinette
Giancana (daughter of Sam Giancana), Nancy Spilotro (wife of
Tony Spilotro), Vincent Spilotro (son of Anthony Spilotro), and
Janice Sachs (wife of Allan Sachs).
These mob families see this as an opportunity to contribute their
voice and tell the story truthfully and accurately.
In doing that, the families provided us with unfettered access to
the largest collection ever assembled of authentic personal items,
memorabilia, photos, videos, and artifacts stored in their attics

The public can
experience the world of
organized crime, learn
about the role its major
players had on the
building of Las Vegas.
You can see Meyer
Lansky’s 200-page
hand-written diary that has
jaw dropping entries in it.
We have “Bugsy” Siegel’s home movies taken in the back yard
with his daughter.
Tony Spilotro’s home
movies show him dressed as Santa Claus giving presents to his
kids. There are even some pictures at Disneyland on the Jungle
Cruise and with Donald Duck. Just like a regular person, but
some were vicious killers who were loving fathers and loving
husbands.
