The Vegas Mob Tour is a two and a half hour bus tour that reveals the
sordid history of Las Vegas. According to Robert Allen, CEO and founder,
" People are fascinated by anything about Las Vegas. They want to hear
about the celebrities, the casinos, the mob and all that's synonymous
with this town." Allen says he based his tour on the stories found in
the popular book "The Battle for Las Vegas" written by well known author
Dennis Griffin and personal interviews with Dennis Arnoldy, retired FBI
Special Agent.
Now Allen has added another one-of-a-kind source of information: a
real-life gangster and mob hit man. Frank Cullotta, former
mobster-turned-government witness, has provided his personal insights to
Allen and his guides. Cullotta was the boss of Tony “the Ant” Spilotro’s
crew of burglars, robbers, and killers who ran the Las Vegas underworld
during the 1970s through the mid-1980s. He served as a technical advisor
to the 1995 movie Casino, in which actor Joe Pesci played a character
based on Spilotro. He also appeared in several scenes in the role of a
hit man. This type of inside information isn’t available anywhere else,
making Robert Allen’s Vegas Mob Tour the most factually correct
excursion of its kind in Las Vegas.
The experience begins with tales about the mob's connection with Vegas.
You'll visit the sites where murders, strange disappearances and mob
activity occurred. Your tour guides, dressed in Pinstriped Suits and
Fedoras, weave "eerie" stories about Las Vegas' darkest secrets. Strange
tales of Sin City's colorful past fill the air. You will hear about the
notorious gangster/casino builder Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel and infamous
mob enforcers Tony "The Ant" Spilotro and Frank Cullotta. Guests learn
the truth about casino boss Frank "Lefty"Rosenthal, as well as celebrity
deaths, suicides and many other strange and puzzling Nevada mysteries.
One of the highlights of the tour is a visit to the crime scene where
Tupac Shakur was gunned down in front of a well known Vegas casino.
