Sure, Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal secretly ran the Stardust, Fremont, Marina, and Hacienda casinos in Las Vegas for the Chicago branch of the mafia from 1974 to 1978. That’s without even possessing a gaming license, ensuring the syndicate a “skim” of at least $1.6 million, and probably much more. But Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal was also the very first operator of a Las Vegas Strip resort to hire female dealers for table games, which makes him a champion for women’s rights. And that makes up for at least some of the bad stuff in his legacy, right?

La Concha Motel, Huntridge Theater and Mormon Fort are among three Southern Nevada locations that Preserve Nevada has designated as the state’s “most endangered historic places.” The statewide historic preservation organization this week released its annual list of 12 “Silver State treasures” at greatest risk of destruction during Historic Preservation Month in May.

The poker game was fixed — that’s the story anyway. An out-of-work miner got “caught gambling crooked,” so the dealer pulled a pistol and emptied six bullets into the man, so says the 1915 coroner’s report. Three of those bullets shot clear through the Pioneer Saloon’s prefabricated walls, marring the pressed tin near the front door. The lore and mythos of the 112-year-old Pioneer Saloon is as alive today as it was the day those bullets penetrated its walls. Steeped in American nostalgia, Nevada saloons are crucial artifacts of early Nevada history — as raucous as the men and women who packed them, as rich in community as their towns’ earth was in silver, and as roughshod and brutal as the boom-and-bust mining camps where they were built.
