Tip of the hat to Vegas Seven, which originally compiled this list, and The Mob Museum, which helped with the research and provided the image.

Here's a look at six places he frequented. Spilatro liked to eat, and he had his fair share of haunts across town. That's when he tried to take over the Chicago mob with his brother Michael, but instead turned up dead in an Indiana cornfield nine days later. By 1986, Spilotro's hit man Frank Cullotta entered the witness protection program and Spilotro faced numerous indictments based on his testimony. The gangsters earned their nickname after blowing a hole in the wall of a jewelry store called Bertha's during a burglary. That's when he formed his Hole in the Wall gang, a burglary outfit that concentrated on the streets.

When state regulators found out about allegations that he was involved in as many as 20 murders, his name landed in the infamous Black Book, banning him from casinos. His reign over Vegas started in 1971, when he moved here to run a gift shop out of Circus Circus.

Perhaps one of Las Vegas' most colorful mob characters was Anthony Spilotro, nickname Tony the Ant.
