Among the gangster clan, someone given the nickname of "Bugsy" is probably someone who earned their title in the eyes of the bosses. Used for gangsters who don't mind taking on the tough jobs and who are fearless, the name "Bugsy" would be a twisted term of honor in a clan of racketeers. And so it was for Benjamin "Bugsy" Seigel.
Producer Robert Allen is proud to bring this tour to the Las Vegas Strip. According to Allen, "People are fascinated by anything about Las Vegas. They want to hear about the celebrities, the casinos, the mob and all that's synonymous with this town." Allen based his tour on the stories found in the popular book "The Battle for Las Vegas" written by well known author Dennis Griffin and personal interviews with Dennis Arnoldy, former FBI chief investigator.
