Making the Past Come Alive

May 19th, 2008 by Las Vegas USA Blog

The shady past of Sin City is a big Las Vegas attraction. People have seen it played out in dozens of movies, read about it and enjoyed the stories as they have been told through the generations. But you still don´t know the half of it! The city is one that has not only a shady past, but a violent and mob related one, as well.

Las Vegas attractions, the mob

The Mafia was crucial in making Las Vegas what it is today. Their methods may have been a little unorthodox, but they got the job done. Care to speculate on how many bodies have been dumped in the foundations of the older casinos along the Strip? Well, no one knows for sure, but at least one person has ended up in the concrete drink!

Most Las Vegas attractions are pretty tame. The history of Las Vegas, though, is something else. Filled with shootouts and gunfights, murders and traitors, it´s a story that you will find fascinating and one that is absolutely true. These men really did live and they changed the course of history, if not for everyone, then at least for this Nevada city.

The mob is still hinted at in these parts and if you are interested in all things mafia, you´ll definitely want to take a walk through Las Vegas!
