Media and the Mob in Las Vegas

This is the third in a series about the Mob. Pictured are Tony Spilotro and Oscar Goodman. Oscar represented Tony and many of the mob figures for years.  He became the Mayor of Las Vegas and has done wonders for the city over the years with his flamboyant style.  

I was fortunate to first meet him around 1973 flying from San Diego to Las Vegas as we both did on a regular basis—I was in the tour and travel business.  Oscar retired as Mayor seven years ago; his wife is now our mayor and he works for the Las Vegas Convention Center doing a fantastic job.
