I REALLY appreciate this series. For me, I'm reliving what LV used to be while celebrating George's amazing contributions. Thank you so very much. 👍💯😎

I was born and raised in LV until I moved away for college in the mid-80s and I remember very well these stories. It seemed like there was a story on the news every week about "body found buried in the desert". I visited the Mob Museum a couple years ago and it is a fascinating place. 5 Stars - highly recommend.

I love the mob content NOOOOO DOUBT! I visited the Mob museum in Vegas last year. It’s AWESOME! A must for mob/mafia nuts like myself. Please George….MORE! Mobfax is an incredible outlet on YouTube with the historical stuff. With all you have access to for mob stuff, you could absolutely KILL IT! (No pun intended)

it actually got MORE violent after the Corporatists took over...<br><br>Murder rates in Las Vegas have fluctuated over the past 60 years, with significant increases noted in certain periods, particularly in the 1990s and early 2000s.

So who shot the guy that was found in the barrel after Lake Mead water level went down? Seemed like I read he was dressed in 70's style clothing, was he related to any of these people in the mob?
