The idea that the Mob just gave up controlling Vegas, their main money-laundering hub in the world, defies logic. They placed so many people into key positions of government and simply evolved up into quasi-legitimacy. That was done quite thoroughly during Prohibition already in the 1920s.

Thank you Peter for talking with Oscar Goodman. No matter how people see him and his wife, they played monumental roles in changing Las Vegas...unfortunately people like them are not in place now to stop the corrupt invasion of corporations taking over the Strip. ( Yes, Carolyn is still the mayor of Las Vegas, but most of the strip is in the county) I was born here in 1955. I've seen this town change like you couldn't imagine. The man Oscar represented in Texas was dating the sister of my bestfriend, she was a cocktail waitress at Ceasar's. My bestfriend and I had no clue about his life, we only knew he would send us to some of the finest places in the city...and we loved that. Oscar has always dreamed big when it came to this town and thankfully many of his dreams came true. But he has had his share of pain. Just a few years ago, I was out early in the morning walking my dog when I saw police all around a bathroom in the park. I found out later that his son was murdered in that bathroom. It made my heart sink. This town had it's share of problems but for what it's worth, I wouldn't change any part of my life here. I was involved with so many things, that at the time seemed normal but looking back, I realize that we were all growing and changing not only ourselves but the city. In the future people like Oscar will be missed because folks have lost that fighting spirit for the sake of us all. Thank you again.

Peter-this has been my favorite of all your videos. (and I've seen a number). I lived in Las Vegas for a while back in the 1980s, and met Mayor Goodman (just Mr. Goodman then) several times thru mutual friends. He is still the same great character he was then! And-he really accomplished things that previous Mayors couldn't or wouldn't. By the early 1980s, Downtown LV was a depressing mess. After the Mob quit running things, QOL had dropped rapidly. Casino Gulch(Fremont Street) was a depressing mess. A handful of the old-time places like the Golden Nugget were hanging on, but for every one of those there were a dozen flophouses, dingy bars, slot casinos and aggressive panhandlers.. Even the Strip was hit or miss in those days. For every Caesar's Palace, there was a grubby bar/slot casino across the street where elderly men and women could come in, cash their social security checks, and then drink and play the slots until all their money was gone. Oscar played a major role (as I think you could tell) in redeveloping LV, particularly Downtown, and he was able to that because he: 1) was believed to be honest; and 2) he was such a character. And natives of LV in those days LOVED their characters. Thanks so much!

Peter has a very great interviewing style. He lets people talk as long they want without interrupting them. And at the same time he’s actually listening to what they have to say. Learn from it kids, he’s a master at his craft.

I've met Mr. Goodman and his wife several times growing up here in Vegas. The first thing I said about 10 mins into this video was: "Wow. I've never heard Mr. Goodman talk so much." 🤣 Peter definitely has a way of getting the interviewee to spill the beans. Lol I love all of his videos.

Thank you Peter for spending some time here in Las Vegas and for the awesome recent videos you've filmed here! I'm a native of Las Vegas and it warms my heart to see Mr. Goodman out and about around town with you like this. I've seen alot of him growing up here, and interviews like this are so important. Vegas is ever-growing and always changing. It's nice to hear about pre-90's Vegas (I was born in '89 - and it's a totally different place here now than it was back then). Still very happy to call Vegas home. I'd love to show you around the local areas of town and North Las Vegas (where I currently live). I'm a huge fan! Cheers! 👋🏽

A heartwarming sight indeed! The defender of serial killers, casually telling stories from a mansion bought by taking justice away from families of the murdered. It's like a real-life fairytale, where the protagonist defends the indefensible and still manages to be the life of the party. Truly inspiring.

@@boston1977boston I didn’t say that any of those things that you just brought up were “heartwarming”. I understand that you were trying to be sarcastic, but your comment missed the mark. Whether you like him or not, Oscar is an icon here in Vegas. 🤷🏽♀️ He was a defense attorney, so that was his job. Maybe let’s blame the actual “serial killers” for being killers vs. the people who counsel them in court… 💁🏽♀️

Oscar is a Straight up great guy, a real character. My grandfather dealt with him many times. I wont say how or who or for what for obvious reasons but Oscar was definitely the man to go to when in legal trouble. the last time my grandfather talked to Oscar was back in 1987. RIP Nono

This is amazing interview and the Mayor speaks candidly about his very interesting life. It's as good as any "professional" interview that I've ever seen before. Great job on the interview, and for documenting the history of LV. He is so engaging and alert for his age. It shows you the kind of strong people that built this country. Well done.
