Both Siegel and the Flamingo had little immediate results except for economic downfall. During the beginning of the Flamingo, Siegel borrow 6 million dollars from the Murder Inc., the mob that he was working with,and ended up getting shot to death because of his inability to pay back the borrowed money, therefore leading to the closing of the Flamingo and the re-opening with the same mob.
This ties back to the idea within the thesis that states the economic breakthroughs. Siegel’s incorporation of gambling in the Flamingo is what got the ball rolling and made people more attracted to the Flamingo. More people were attracted to the Las Vegas strip in the 1950’s because of the other owners that renovated it.
