The Mafia Chronicles: Las Vegas Mobster Homes
The made-up city name “Lost Wages” used to appear on postcards for sale in Las Vegas, showing a hapless tourist stranded in the desert — a camera around his neck, as I recall, and wearing Bermuda shorts — with his front pants pockets forlornly pulled out like rabbit ears, indicating he gambled away all of his money during a Sin City vacation.
Las Vegas, Lost Wages. Similar sounding, same place, according to the postcard.
I haven’t looked in awhile, but my guess is you can still find those postcards somewhere around town.
Enjoy Regular New Slots Games
Slots have been around since 1895 when Charles Fey invented the Liberty Bell machine. You may have heard of the one arm bandit whose reels spun after a long lever was pulled and this was how slots games were enjoyed for a long time. However, slots have come a long way since then. In 1994, when the first online casinos were launched, slots moved online and a decade later, mobile casino slots became available. Players can now enjoy slots games from wherever they are and whenever suits them. Online casinos, such as Insta Casino, offer a wide range of slots games to choose from.

Neil Dellacroce: The Archangel of Death
“His eyes had no color… as if his soul was transparent”. — A characterization from a news reporter about Dellacroce.
“Dellacroce was one of the scariest individuals I’ve ever met in my life. Dellacroce’s eyes were like he didn’t have any eyes. Did you ever see ‘Children of the Damed?’ His eyes were so blue that they weren’t even there. It was like looking right through him.”— Joseph Coffey, a former New York mob investigator.

“Stayin’ Alive.”
That Bee Gee’s disco song could have been the anthem — or at least the goal — of the mob hitmen and car-bombing killers at war in Kansas City in the 1970s.
Much of the mayhem was centered on a now-defunct but then-lucrative downtown entertainment district, the River Quay (pronounced River Key).
Control of that district resulted in a high-stakes mob war with bodies stuffed in car trunks and with nightclubs and automobiles blown sky high.

Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel: A Closer Look at The Hollywood Gangster
The glitz and glam of Hollywood is hard to resist. This was particularly true for mobster Benjamin Siegel known as “Bugsy.” The notorious and iconic mobster was born on February 28, 1906 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn New York. In his youth, Siegel was known as a street thug and rose through the ranks to become a feared murderer, bookmaker and Hollywood playboy. Siegel was not only prominent in the Jewish mob, but with childhood friends like Meyer Lansky and Lucky Luciano he had influence in the Italian mafia as well. Siegel was part founder of another organization known for its muscle and violence, Murder Inc. While Siegel was linked to several high-profile murders, his only conviction, was in Miami, when he was arrested for gambling and vagrancy. It’s believed that Siegel played a role in around a dozen killings during his rise in the 1920s and 30s.

Debunking Henry Hill’s Fables & Creative License in the Film Classic Goodfellas!
“As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster. To me, being a gangster was better than being President of the United States. Even before I first wandered into the cabstand for an after-school job, I knew I wanted to be a part of them. It was there that I knew that I belonged. To me, it meant being somebody in a neighborhood that was full of nobodies. They weren’t like anybody else. I mean, they did whatever they wanted. They double-parked in front of a hydrant and nobody ever gave them a ticket. In the summer when they played cards all night, nobody ever called the cops.”–Henry Hill age 12.

The Mafia Chronicles: The Mean Streets of George V. Higgins
Writing about the “Crimetown” podcast series on Providence, Rhode Island, last week brought to my mind the writer George V. Higgins.
Higgins, a New England journalist and lawyer who once worked in Providence — he died in 1999 — is one of the great novelists in American literature, known nowadays by too few readers, possibly because he is categorized only as a crime writer.
But compared to many who write “crime fiction” or “mysteries,” Higgins gives readers much more than the standard potboiler plots and bent-nose bad guys. His eye for detail and ear for authentic dialogue rival anyone who has published any kind of fiction — literary, crime, or anything else.
