In California, Siegel developed gambling dens, off-shore gambling ships, narcotics smuggling, and other illegal enterprises. His good looks and charm also gained him the friendship of Hollywood stars and celebrities. He developed a nationwide bookmakers' wire service and, in 1945, began working toward his dream of building the Flamingo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, northeast of Los Angeles. When it was discovered that Siegel was "skimming" money from the project, Lansky and other eastern bosses were incensed. In the late evening of June 20, 1947, Siegel was killed in his Beverly Hills mansion, when bullets were fired through his living room window. Simultaneously, three of Lansky's cronies entered the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas and declared a takeover. John Patrick Sheehan, Rovi
