“Las Vegas, was it better off when it was run by the mob.”
Anyone who has spent time in Las Vegas has probably heard it before, and residents of Las Vegas hear it all the time. But was the city really better when organized crime had a stranglehold on its biggest business, its lifeblood? When the Las Vegas Strip was mobbed up, and crime families from all over the country had a tight grip on the flow of cash from many of its casinos?
Season 1 of Mobbed Up: The Fight for Las Vegas is an 11-part true-crime podcast series produced by the Las Vegas Review-Journal in partnership with The Mob Museum, chronicling the mob’s rise and fall in Las Vegas through the eyes of those who lived it: ex-mobsters, law enforcement officials, politicians and journalists.
From back alleys to bank vaults, dimly lit basements to the neon glow of the Las Vegas Strip, Mobbed Up will transport you to the 20th-century criminal underworlds of Chicago, Kansas City and of course, Las Vegas.
