LAS VEGAS (INS) In Las Vegas, after Bugsy Siegel was erased, came the gold rush. A deluge of Hollywood, black market and upper-crust tourists washed over his fabled spa, the muster. The Sahara, built by Del Webb, the co-owner of the New York Yankees, who built the Flamingo for Siegel, offered such lush living comfort that gamblers with financial investments in other establishments took permanent residence. The money behind the who now has extensive interests in steel, laundries, and other businesses, and his associates, advanced Clark about $1,300,000 to complete the Desert Inn and gained control. They have expanded their holdings considerably, including the building of a remarkable 18-hole golf course which has become the scene of one of the nation's biggest an were also that part of the financing came from Joseph (Doc) Stacher, described as one of the leaders of the old Third Ward mob in New Jersey.

Neither Kufferman nor Stacher could get a license to operate. Jake Freedman, congenial little gambler from Houston, was brought in and passed new owners toqk over they signed an agreement with Green-baum who seems to retain at least a rooting interest that they'd spend $2 million more in improvements to keep apace or ahead of ambitious other Strip attractions.

SIEGEL had guessed right about Las Vegas, and it didn't take long for the word to get around. It was natural that he should be followed into the city and its environs by a wave of his peers and inferiors in the racket world. They had money to invest, and Las Vegas welcomed it in view of the fact that few top investment houses or insurance companies wished to take such a flyer. Many who followed Bugsy had taken the lead of Frank Costello and others and had transferred an old $2,500,000 Galveston bank With Dalitz in the operation! loan matures in September 1955, are Morris Kleinman and Thomas Jefferson McGinty, two other! flamingo, leaving in the receding tide estimated $4 million a year net profit.

In Las Vegas the delousing proc; ess continues. Morris Rosen, whose record is spread over 31 pages in the Ke-fauver reports, moved into Las Vegas to settle the affairs of Siegel. Rosen's son married one of Siegel's daughters, so he appeared in the role of foremost friend of the murdered murderer's family. The affairs were complicated.

As is usually the case in Las Vegas, Siegel had a bit of several clubs going for him, in addition to horse books and the Flamingo. Rosen, also known as "Doc Harris" and "Joe Stacci," found mysterious Joe Epstein, Virginia Hill's "banker," on hand with the books, and also Bugsys original front man in Las Vegas, much-arrested Moe Sedway. Rosen be slaking parched throats during prohibition, and former Cleveland i gamblers Sam Tucker, Ruby Ko-j lod, and Barney Rothkopf, alias: million for 10 years, and are said to be offering a $1 million bonus to anyone who'll take the chance and gamble on Las Vegas's future.
