The Mob Tour
Whether your name is Guido or not, you’ll love The Mob Tour in Las Vegas. Those days may be over (or maybe not) but the stories and some of the places remain where robberies, murders and quiet whispers over dark-cornered tables were not that unusual in the history of Las Vegas. Who could forget Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel, Tony Accardo and Sam Giancana, the big mob boss. Tony “The Ant” Spilotro, the emotionless-faced enforcer for the Chicago mob in Vegas during the 70s and 80s, and Frank Cullotta, the infamous burglars nicknamed the Hole in the Wall Gang, are a few of the most famous Las Vegas characters who gave the city that special flavor and tinge of big power and big money.
Some of the scenes from the movie, “The Godfather,” deal with the mob in Las Vegas, as well as “Casino.” This 2 ½ hour tour gives you an insider history of the LV mob scene that is thrilling as you hear the stories and see where unsolved disappearances occurred, suicides and murders made headlines and where the mob hung out. Of course, you will be chauffeured around in a limo and along the way enjoy a pizza party and why not? All that mob talk gives you an appetite for Italian food.
The host is Vegas’ own Robert George Allen, who has been in show biz for 35 years and has been featured in countless shows on the Strip. He’s the perfect man for The Mob Tour, dresses the part, talks the talk and walks the walk. To make this tour even better, he also interviewed former mobsters and FBI agents to get the lowdown. So, if you want the skinny on the shady dealings and where the bodies are buried, this is just the place. The Mob Tour lasts about 3 hours and you’ll have a great time, so if you love stories about The Mob, you’ll love this tour. Tickets begin at $174.99 and tours are available for two to 20 people.
