I believe it was Lansky
If so: What mobster was Nathan Detroit from Guys and Dolls supposedly based on?

No, the originator of the Flamingo wasn't Lansky, and he wasn't even a gangster.
Question still stands.

Is it Thomas Hull? I thought he made the El Rancho but maybe it was Flamingo...He wasn't a mafioso, that's for sure.

Moe Dalitz was the originator, but he wasn't in the Mafia.
Frank Costello owned a big piece of the Dunes, and so (later) did Raymond Patriarcha.
Q. What was the name of Dalitz's Cleveland bootlegging gang in the Twenties?

I was reffering to Patriarca.


The name of the gang was The Mayfield Road Gang.

( I believe that in GFII Johnny Ola makes reference to the old Lakeville Road Boys which was based on the real life Mayfield Rd. Gang.)

Q : Who was the original founder/leader of that gang?
