If you're a fan of Vegas-related movies & pop culture, chances are that you've heard about "the Black Book".
This is a list of people who are banned from entering any gaming establishment in the state of Nevada for ANY reason - as was highlighted by Joe Pesci & Robert DeNiro in this scene from 1995 classic film, "Casino".
So exactly how does one end up in "the Black Book"? And, more importantly, how does one get OUT of it? My guest for this episode of the podcast is here to answer those questions and many more...
Back for another conversation is Geoff Schumacher, Vice President of Exhibits & Programs at the Mob Museum in Downtown Las Vegas.
We went in-depth on the history of the Black Book including when it came into existence and why, some of the famous (and infamous) names that have landed in the book, and much more.
