Head into the comment section of almost any news article and you're bound to find this comment: "Things were better when the mob ran Vegas." But … were they? Co-host Sarah Lohman talks with Geoff Schumacher, VP of Exhibits and Programs at The Mob Museum about what life was really like back then — and why nostalgia for this era is so prevalent today. Also, heads up: We've got an extended cut in the members-only feed that goes into the origins of the Vegas mob and all the businesses they ran in town.
