Moe Dalitz--father of Vegas, the ultimate legitimized gangster.
Excellent choice. Maybe people don't realize that back in his time Moe Dalitz was a two hoodlum. He and his Jewish-based mob ran a very lucrative crew, referred to as "The Little Jewish Navy" for their successful exploits as rum runners and bootleggers hauling branded booze in from over the Great Lakes in Canada to supply Cleveland and vicinity,
He cleaned hissed up real good after they made their investments into Vegas. After years out front he became a revered, respected businessman.
