Every Tuesday in January at 7 p.m. the Clark County Library will be hosting a series of events related to the Mob with ex-mobsters, law enforcement, authors, historians and the witnesses who survived the Mob’s expansive rise to power in the 20th century.
January 8 – When the Mob Ran Vegas
Panelists will discuss life in Las Vegas during the Mob’s heyday. Guests include AmericanMafia.com columnist and former Las Vegas city councilman Steve Miller, journalist and author Cathy Scott (Murder of a Mafia Daughter: The Life and Tragic Death of Susan Berman), married-to-the-Mob author Wendy Mazaros (Vegas Rag Doll) and others.
January 15 – The IRS vs. the Chicago Outfit
Notorious Chicago mob associates Frank Cullotta and Tony Montana with mob author Dennis Griffin (Cullotta, Surviving the Mob and The Battle for Las Vegas) will sit down with current and retired agents from the IRS Criminal Investigation division to talk about what really happened and how Hollywood got it wrong. Las Vegas journalist and author John L. Smith will moderate.
January 22 – Remembering Henry Hill
Ex-mobster turned author, actor and film producer Sal Polisi will reminisce with special guests about the late Henry Hill, whose criminal life was portrayed in the movie GoodFellas.

This is awesome. I keep meaning to hit up the Mob Museum, and this is a perfect fit for that. Maybe I’ll make an awesome month out of mob history next month
