Think Las Vegas was founded by mobsters? Think again.<\/p>\n

\"Benjamin
Benjamin Siegel was nicknamed “Bugsy” \u2014 a name he despised, by the way \u2014 because of the rages he flew into, which his mobster cohorts described as “going bugs.” (Image: themobmuseum.org)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That moment in the 1991 film Bugsy<\/em> when Warren Beatty walked out into the barren desert and had a vision? Fake news. Mobster Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel didn’t create the Las Vegas Strip. He didn\u2019t even create the Flamingo Hotel he’s famously associated with.<\/p>\n

\n

In reality, Siegel and his literal partner in crime, Moe Sedway, didn’t move to Las Vegas until 1945 to take over operations at the mob’s newly acquired El Cortez casino downtown. By that time, the Strip was well underway, with Western-themed hotels the Last Frontier and El Rancho Vegas operating for several years along what was then known as Highway 91.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Siegel, Sedway, and their underworld boss, Meyer Lansky, met when they were kids running with Jewish-Italian street gangs in early-1920s New York City. A decade later, Siegel and Lansky ran a murderous bootlegging outfit called the Bugs and Meyer Mob, while Sedway made trips to Las Vegas, on Lansky’s behalf, to franchise the syndicate’s Trans-America race wire service.<\/p>\n

Bugsy didn’t even father the Flamingo. That resort was the baby of Billy Wilkerson, founder and publisher of The Hollywood Reporter.<\/em> All Siegel did was take it over in 1946 \u2014 by some accounts, using threats of violence \u2014 when Wilkerson\u2019s dream went bust before construction was completed. Reportedly, Wilkerson had gambled away his cash.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bugsy’s Influence on Vegas<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Siegel didn’t father the Las Vegas Strip, but he did influence how it developed and grew. His sensationalized death helped put Vegas on the map.<\/p>\n

\n

On June 20, 1947, a hail of bullets flew through the living room window of Virginia Hill’s rented Beverly Hills home. (She was in Paris at the time, supposedly buying wine for the Flamingo.) Siegel, 42, was sitting on the couch next to a sidekick, Allen Smiley. Siegel was hit twice in the face and twice in the chest. He died instantly. Smiley suffered only a bullet hole through his suit jacket.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Photos of Siegel\u2019s mutilated corpse were plastered across newspaper front pages. It was the first time all eyes in the country were trained on Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis death brought a publicity bonanza for the Flamingo and Las Vegas,\u201d Jeff Burbank, content development specialist for Vegas’ Mob Museum, told Casino.org<\/em>. \u201cPost-Siegel, the Flamingo soon cleared $4 million in profits. And Siegel\u2019s reputation as a brash and insistent project manager, and spending on over-the-top flourishes, likely influenced future casino moguls in Las Vegas \u2026 even if they had to, like Siegel, borrow money from mobsters, give them hidden interests, and skim for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mob Hit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

How and why Siegel met his gruesome end is part of America’s continuing fascination with him. It\u2019s officially still an open police case.<\/p>\n

The dominant theory is that Siegel\u2019s obstinance, wild spending habits, and rumors of disloyalty seriously rankled his mob bosses. (Siegel blew through more than six times his $1M budget, or $92M in today\u2019s money, during the Flamingo’s construction.)<\/p>\n

In late 1946, Siegel\u2019s Eastern crime family patrons complained and had him meet with them, according to this theory. In his self-importance, Siegel apparently treated them shabbily and told them off.<\/p>\n

\n

This much is known: under pressure to produce revenue, Siegel opened the Flamingo early \u2014 before even guest rooms were completed \u2014 the day after Christmas 1946. He ran into some bad luck, though. Heavy rains grounded the planes of some of his celebrity guests, and then the casino\u2019s early gamblers won a fortune against the house. He had to close the place until March 1947 so more of it could be completed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cHe told his mob handlers to give it a chance, that the place would turn a profit \u2014 and it did for months in 1947,\u201d Burbank said. \u201cBut it did not matter. It appears his mobster handlers had decided he must be killed and replaced. Siegel caused too many problems and was not to be trusted with their money anymore. There were rumors Siegel was skimming. Even while owing so much money to so many other people, he was fundamentally deceitful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Or Envious Husband?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In 2014, an alternate Bugsy death theory emerged when Los Angeles Magazine<\/em> published an interview with the dying son of Moe Sedway. Robbie Sedway claimed that the triggerman wasn’t a Mafioso, but a truck driver named Matthew \u201cMoose\u201d Pandza.<\/p>\n

Moose was having an open affair with Sedway\u2019s wife, Bee, when she learned that Siegel had threatened her husband\u2019s life. Fed up with Sedway\u2019s increasing role overseeing the Flamingo\u2019s financial affairs at the behest of Lansky, Siegel threatened to have Sedway shot, chopped up, and deposited into the Flamingo\u2019s garbage disposal.<\/p>\n

\n

Sedway, who at the time was an FBI informant, decided to go on the offensive instead of waiting to be murdered, according to his son. He assigned the hit to Pandza. (Though Pandza and Sedway competed for Bee\u2019s affection, the two were close friends.) The avid hunter and firearms aficionado procured a .30-caliber military M-1 semi-automatic carbine for the job.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cA few things raise suspicions about the plausibility of this theory,\u201d Burbank said. \u201cWhy would Smiley risk being shot? Also, if the FBI knew this, why wasn\u2019t it in its files on Sedway, aside from hints he was an informant? And that kind of action would likely have required the OK of high-level crime bosses, maybe including exiled mob chief Charles Luciano and LA boss Jack Dragna. Why would they entrust such a big job to the lover of Sedway\u2019s wife?”<\/p>\n

Such continued speculation is precisely why Bugsy Siegel’s page in the history of Las Vegas is bigger than it deserves to be. The world just can’t get enough of this character.<\/p>\n

\u201cBen Siegel did not invent the luxury resort-casino,\u201d wrote biographer Robert Lacey in his book Meyer Lansky: The Thinking Man\u2019s Gangster.<\/em> \u201cHe did not found the Las Vegas Strip. He did not buy the land or first conceive the project that became the Flamingo. But by his death, he made them all famous.\u201d<\/p>\n
