Las Vegas was molded into a neon entertainment capital through Mobsters. Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, Meyer Lansky, "Irish" Kelly Green, Tony "The Hat" Cornero, Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal, Lester "Benny" Binion and others. These men were driving forces as casino gambling became an institution in the Mojave Desert.
