Vegas is a real hard-boiled town. Don't miss Bugsy Seigal's
Flamingo Hotel, named for the mob money laundress, Virginia
Hill. There is a lot of organized crime stories and murders
to research in Las Vegas. Donald Wolfe claims that Seigal's
problems in Vegas resulted in the Black Dahlia murder in Los
Angeles on Feb 2, 1948. Seigal staged a series of burglaries
in LA to finance the failing Flamingo, that week end. There
are a lot of crimes just barely in living memory to
investigate in Vegas.
