I believe it would have been the late 30's / early 40's by Benjamin "Bugsy"
Seigal with the help of Meyer Lansky, Charles "Lucky" Luciano, and a couple
other bosses whose name's escape me, bankrolling the endeavor.  I haven't
found a definitive date for the "founding" of Las Vegas yet, but Bugsy was
killed on the orders of Luciano in 1947 for losing syndicate money in the
casino venture.

Harrowed gangsters?  Harrowed gangsters...hmm.
