Thank you Turnbull. While there are so many different accounts and versions when it comes to researching mobsters, it's hard to tell truths from non-truths because, as you and I both know, the mob did not keep journals of their activities for us to go off of!

I know that I can always rely on you to assist me and interject your knowledge on these matters. It is greatly appreciated.

As for Wilkerson naming his hotel/casino The Flamingo, well I've done many searches about that and no stories that I've read ever seem to corroborate each other on that matter.

BTW, I just ordered the book "The Man Who Invented Las Vegas." by W.R. Wilkerson III.
