Casino

Las Vegas, we’re still undecided on.

The strip is full on and we’ve now done the casino/resort thing I’m not sure we’d do it again.  We went to a smaller hotel off the strip today when beginning the Mob tour and this seemed more like what we’d be interested in for future visits.   We have been staying in the Flamingo casino and resort.

This was one of the original hotels on the Vegas strip built up by Ben Siegal. Ben or Bugsy Siegal was one of the founders of Murder Inc. Google it sometime.

Why all this ‘Mob’ stuff?, Well we took the mob tour of Vegas today this 2.5 hour tour covered the early days of the mafia and Las Vegas and also covered a lot of the filming of Casino.
