Step into the glittering past of Las Vegas and discover how the city's infamous mobsters played a pivotal role in its rise to fame.

Listen to the tales of ambition, power, and downfall that encapsulate the era when the mob ran the roost - a time that forever changed the face of this desert oasis and turned it into an international haven for entertainment and sin.
