Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel

Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel (February 28, 1906 – June 20, 1947) was an American gangster who was involved organized crime. Siegel was a major driving force behind large-scale development of Las Vegas.

During adolescence, Siegel befriended Meyer Lansky, who was forming a small mob whose activities expanded to gambling and car theft. Siegel reputedly also worked as the mob's hit man, whom Lansky would hire out to other crime families.
