    Most of the information provided in this Biography segment is highly innacurate.
    The visionary for Las Vegas and casino was a guy by the name of William Richard "Billy" Wilkerson, who was a real estate developer. For years Wilkerson developed several businesses, including clubs, hotels, and it was Wilkerson who came with the idea of a hotel and casino named The Flamingo Hotel.
    Wilkerson approached Siegel to provide food, liquor, gambling and celebrities for the hotel. However, Siegel is said to have coerced, threatening to kill Wilkerson, who needed capital to finish the hotel, if he did not sell the Flamingo to Siegel and the mob. It is reported Wilkerson fled to Paris for a few years in fear of his life. Wilkerson returned to the United States and died in Los Angeles at age 71 in 1962.
    In essence, this whole "Bugsy" Siegel as being the visionary and "father" of Las Vegas is simply historically innacurate and a big lie perpetrated by Hollywood. The only true facts in this segment is that Siegel was a thief, thug, gangster, and a killer. It is segments like this one, another reason people do not believe any mediums of information, because the essential message is fake, innacurate, and a big lie.

      @@Javier-tb2zw Javier, creo que me quieres decir que Siegel terminó la construcción. Si bien es cierto, la verdad es que no era su "obra". El punto del artículo es que no se le da el mérito al que propuso la idea, sino que al que robó la idea, aunque el financiamiento había sido garantizado. No obstante, el punto es, hacen la película del ladrón, no del que hizo la propuesta.

      It’s true, Billy Wilkerson created the Flamingo. But hang on a second, the TRUE father of the Las Vegas Strip wasn’t either Wilkerson or Seigel. The true visionary of the Las Vegas Strip Resort was Thomas Hull, the guy who built El Rancho Vegas in ‘41/42 .

      TRUE TRUE and TRUE! It makes for a great story to think that a notorious gangster was the father of Las Vegas, didn't happen. Bugsy is no doubt a part of Vegas history but he was not an innovator or visionary. If he had kept Wilkerson on to finish the Flamingo, he would have lived a lot longer

      Weirdo's. The maffia is more organised. That is about it. The gangs like crips, bloods, gd, and bd's are way more dangerous. The mob does not create problems out of nothing to civilians. The gangs do. They are also way bigger than the mob. Most dangerous gangs kill over nothing. That is evil. You are weird to be wanting to live in a time were gangsters werent a 'joke'. Who are you? Stop looking up to murderers. Bugsy would not ran away and he would not make someone ran way if they are both murderers.
