Pink Flamingos Mugs
Description: In late 1945, mobster Bugsy Siegel and his partners came to Las Vegas. Vegas reportedly piqued Siegel and his mob's interest because of its legalized gambling and off-track betting. At the time, Siegel held a large interest in Trans America Wire, a racing publication. Siegel began by purchasing El Cortez on Fremont Street for $600,000. His expansion plans were hampered by unfriendly city officials aware of his criminal background, so Siegel began looking for a site outside the city limits. Hearing that Wilkerson was seeking extra funding, Siegel and his partners posed as businessmen and directly bought a two-thirds stake in the project.
Description: A splash of color design with pink flamingos and green leaves and palm fronds This fun design makes a great gift idea for a birthday, Christmas, anniversary mother's day, father's day or any gift-giving occasion for friends and relatives, mom, dad, son, daughter, sister, or brother. Makes a fun stocking stuffer.
