No one knew more about casinos than Frank €œLefty€ Rosenthal, the gambling mastermind who, along with his best friend and partner, Anthony Spilotro, virtually ran Las Vegas for the mob. For years, it was the perfect arrangement€"Lefty provided the smarts, while Tony kept the bosses happy with their weekly suitcases filled with millions in skimmed cash. It should have lasted forever, but Lefty€s obsession with running the town€"and Tony€s obsession with Lefty€s beautiful showgirl wife, Geri€"eventually led to the betrayals and investigations that exploded into one of the greatest debacles in mob history.
