Being Oscar: From Mob Lawyer to Mayor of Las Vegas

In Being Oscar,one of Americaâ€™s most celebrated criminal defense attorneys recounts the stories and cases of his epic life. The Mafiaâ€™s go-to defender, he has tried an estimated 300 criminal cases, and won most of them.Â His roster of clients reads like a history of organized crime:Â Meyer Lansky, Nicky Scarfo, and â€œLeftyâ€ Rosenthal, as well as Mike Tyson and boxing promoter Don King, along with a midget, a dentist, and a federal judge.

After thirty-five years as a defender, he ran for mayor of Las Vegas, and Americaâ€™s greatest Mob lawyer became the mayor of its sexiest city.Â He was so popular his image appeared on the $5, $25, and $100 chips.Â While mayor of Vegas, he starred on the screen in Rush Hour 2 and CSI. He is as large a character in the history of organized crime as any of his clients and as legendary a figure in the history of Las Vegas as the entrepreneurs (his friends and clients) who built the city.Â This is his astonishing storyâ€”the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
