Moe Dalitz
Morris Barney Dalitz (December 25, 1899 – August 31, 1989 ), known as Moe Dalitz, was an American gangster,〔(The Unlikely, Still-Ongoing Journey of the Late Moe Dalitz, Suzanne Dalitz, Vegas Seven, 9 April 2014 )〕〔("Moe Dalitz," John L. Smith, Las Vegas Review Journal, 7 Feb 1999 )〕 businessman, casino owner and philanthropist. He was one of the major figures who shaped Las Vegas, Nevada in the 20th century. He was often referred to as "Mr. Las Vegas."〔 ==Early life== Morris Barney Dalitz was born on December 25, 1899 in Boston, Massachusetts to a Jewish family. He grew up in Michigan. He worked in his family's laundry business early on, but began his career in bootlegging when Prohibition began in 1919, and capitalized on his access to the laundry trucks in the family business. Additionally he developed a partnership with the Maceo syndicate which ran Galveston and supplied liquor from Canada and Mexico. Though he admitted under oath that he had been a bootlegger and had operated illegal gambling houses, Dalitz was never convicted of a crime. During Senator Estes Kefauver's committee hearings (investigating organized crime) questioned his bootlegging, Dalitz said, "If you people wouldn't have drunk it, I wouldn't have bootlegged it." With the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, Dalitz turned to gambling and operated illegal but protected casinos in Steubenville, Ohio, and Covington, Ky. He enlisted in the Army in World War II and rose in rank from private to first lieutenant.
