The romance of the man who created Las Vegas, the “city of pleasure”

Las Vegas, America's largest casino city, has had a close relationship with movies since its beginnings. It is constantly changing its appearance to fit the times while absorbing people's desires. Even if a movie tries to depict the "present" of Las Vegas, by the time the movie is completed, Las Vegas will have already entered a different phase, and it would be impossible to keep up. However, the movie that best represents Las Vegas in recent years would be "The Hangover" (2009).

In fact, if you go to a casino in Las Vegas, you'll see "The Hangover!" Slot machines featuring characters from ``The Hangover!'' are still in operation, and ``The Hangover! ” goods are lined up in rows. While looking back at the many “Las Vegas movies”, we looked back at “The Hangover! ” I would like to consider how it symbolizes the current city of Las Vegas.

Las Vegas has the image of being a hedonistic city lined with huge casino resorts, but it is well known that the foundation of Las Vegas was Benjamin Siegel, a gangster nicknamed ``Bugsy.'' Warren Beatty directed and starred in the Siegel biopic Bugsy (1991), which depicts the rise and fall of the man who created Las Vegas' first mega-casino resort.

There was a casino in Las Vegas even before Bugsy noticed it. Gambling was legal in Nevada, so you could go downtown and find casinos. However, Bugsy decides to build a large resort offering gambling and entertainment shows in the middle of the desert, away from downtown (historically, he took over a hotel whose construction had been suspended). The Flamingo Las Vegas, a casino hotel that still operates in the center of Las Vegas, was opened in 1946 as the fruit of Bugsy's dream.

Bugsy was also close friends with Hollywood celebrities, and the prototype for today's Las Vegas was already in place, where he would invite them to perform entertainment shows with great excitement. However, despite spending a large amount of extravagant money, the profits did not turn out as expected, and Bugsy was suspected of being a fraud and was purged from the mafia organization. The management of Flamingo then transfers to Moe Sedway and Gus Greenbaum, who were newly dispatched from the organization. The Las Vegas mogul Moe Green, who appears in the movie `` The Godfather ,'' is named after these two men.
