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: From 1963 to 1987, Castaways Hotel and Casino operated on the Las Vegas Strip as the only Polynesian Islands/tiki style themed establishment in town. From the minute you walked in, you were immersed in tiki culture bar, from Polynesian waitresses and exotica music playing throughout to extensive tropical plants and South pacific decor. You truly felt like you were in a much more exotic locale when you were at Castaways, making them one of the original themed hotel and casino operations on the strip. Another first that Castaways was known for was their huge 1,500 gallon aquarium that made up the back wall of one of the main bars, where patrons could watch tropical fish as they enjoyed their cocktails – the patrons, not the fish.
