Would love to see some of the collections that people might have from this era.
For anyone who cares and doesn't know the 40s to the early 80s (ish) in Las Vegas was the organized crime era. Really beginning with the Flamingo/El Cortez (movie "Bugsy") before Hilton purchased it and then another big wave of mobsters with the Stardust, Fremont, Hacienda, Marina, Thunderbird, etc (movie "Casino").
