You are looking so nice so beautiful great fantastic video keep up good work thanks for shared stay always connected dear friend. God bless you 🎁🎁🎁♥️ 🙏🙏 45
Wow there's a ton of footage in this one. This Sinatra/Giancana/GCB battle story is well-compiled and professionally presented in this video. I didn't know Sinatra was that involved with ownership in the Sands and Cal-Neva. I thought he was mainly a singer and performer. Wow they approved him after all of their background checks. Looks like Sinatra was untouchable just like his mob friends. Wow Harry Reid, the MGM grand fire. It amazes my Vegas hasn't had any major hotel fires since 1980.
Sinatra was lucky in many ways, things were not nearly as strict back then that they are now. Sinatra had a a lot of power in Vegas and Hollywood in the 60's. It's amazing the gaming officials were able to revoke his license in 1963.
It's much easier money to own the casino, no performances are necessary. Plus, the entertainer can say I won't play at your casino unless I get some "points", either for free or at a reduced rate.
@VegasVisual Hope your working on some new stuff you do excellent job with the story telling & details. Any chance your gonna do anything on Johnny Roselli?
@@dlp2600 Thank you, I try to post a Vegas history video monthly, depending on how long it takes to complete. Currently I am working on a series of Las Vegas historical moments, by decade. The 1800's, 1900's & 1910's are posted, now I am working on the 1920's. The "video" page has all of my history videos. Johnny Roselli is not on my radar yet but will eventually get around to doing something on Roselli, or related to Roselli.
At 44:35 there's an arrow pointing up at a man saying Jimmy the weasel Fratiano, when in fact he's second from the right, standing on Carlo Gambino's lefthand side. See how easy s**t gets fu**ed up...
Just for accuracy let's get this right, Jimmy's on Gambino's left hand side. Not one but two of youse, oh Madonna Mi, see how easy s**t gets fu**ed up. If you believe everything you see, and hear, they'll have you believing DaVinci, Galileo, and Columbus, were all Mafioso. Now how's that for the truth...
Very interesting!!! I really wish all the old hotels were still on the strip. I want to find all the hidden places!!! V
Cal Neva is still standing and hopefully it opens back up again. As far as Vegas classic casinos outside of Fremont street its not looking good.
I didn't even know Frank had a license for gaming. Excited for this video Kev! Thanks for all your hard work👍
Well, for awhile Sinatra lost his license. Most welcome Cali, always nice to have you stop by.
Vegas visual as always great. Ill watch more than once for sure
Thank you Jay.

Awesome video. This is incredible Las Vegas, entertainment industry and gaming industry history. Will rewatch.
Thank you, the details are pretty interesting to say the least.
Great video and research Vegas Visual 😊
I learnt a lot about Frank Sinatra through the video today
Thank you Neil, I knew the general narrative but not some of the details. Sinatra was a complicated man, not all good or bad.
😮 that was interesting! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Most welome!
Whoa Nellie! Frank referring to Johnny Mathis as “The African Queen!”
I was surprised at that.
@@VegasVisual 🫢
Johnny was also half Greek...
Nice sharing my friend...thanks and successful🙏🏻👍
Thank you for watching.
Disappointing to see Gregory Peck gave Frank Sinatra a reference as to his "good character".
Yes, disappointing to see so many people let Frank off the hook simply for money including the gaming authorities.
Nice
Frank lying through his teeth at the 1981 hearing.
Very much so.
Great job my friend!!!
Thank you my friend, much appreciated.
Impressive coverage of Sinatra and the Gaming Commission.
Thank you.
Amazing video, just subbed.
Thank you!
Seems like so many of the old strip entertainers were trying to own casinos back then. I guess who could blame them.
It's much easier money to own the casino, no performances are necessary. Plus, the entertainer can say I won't play at your casino unless I get some "points", either for free or at a reduced rate.
@@VegasVisual Wow! I never even thought of that. Very true I guess.
There were rumors that when Foxwoods opened
Sinatra owned it
🤷♂️
Interesting.
Really cool information. Subbed from Granny's live.
Thank you!
Great sharing!
Thank you!
Awesome Video! Alot of good information in this video.
Thank you!

Thanks for the correction!
That farmer character seems like a real schmuck
Old school guy from another generation.
At 43:35 the caption reads the weasel as being at the bottom. Jimmy the weasel is to the right of Gambino at the top. Just for accuracy.
Thanks for the correction!
@VegasVisual very cool documentary and commentary though. Enjoyed it very much. Thank You for making it.

Very nice video bro ..
