Gangsters Guide: Frank Rosenthal

Frank Rosenthal was the mastermind behind the scenes of Las Vegas' most famous casinos, running the Stardust and others like a well-oiled criminal machine. Known for his brilliant business acumen, he built a powerful empire without ever stepping into the spotlight. But his world slowly unraveled through betrayal, pressure from law enforcement, and internal mob conflicts. Despite surviving a near-fatal bombing, Frank's fall from power was inevitable. His legacy lives on in myth and pop culture, especially through the film Casino, but his story remains a complex tale of ambition, control, and the cost of living in the shadows.
