Vegas Mayor Wants A Mob Museum

“Mayor Oscar Goodman, the flamboyant, gin-sipping, sports-gambling, showgirl-squiring executive of Sin City, is caught in a contradiction. For years he had told the world, ‘There is no mob.’ That was when he was a defense lawyer who represented mobsters and even had a cameo playing himself in Martin Scorsese’s ‘Casino.’ Goodman said there were no mobsters–just alleged mobsters. Now, as mayor, he wants to take a National Historic Landmark, the old federal courthouse where he tried his first case, and turn it into a mob museum–and there’s no alleged about it.”
