Las Vegas Mob Boss Home Up For Sale

---

Billed as the "most infamous mobster house in Sin City history," the late Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal's golf course home in Las Vegas is on the market.

A gambler who ran several Vegas casinos in the '70s, Rosenthal was portrayed in the movie "Casino" by Robert DeNiro, with Sharon Stone as his drug-loving, jewelry-addicted alcoholic wife, Geri.

The 3-bedroom house in the Las Vegas Country Club features many of Rosenthal's original personal touches, including bulletproof doors, secret compartments, gold-plated sinks and smoked-mirror ceilings. The asking price is $725,000.

The home "has the feel of a 1970s Vegas mafia nightclub," said agent Aaron Auxier, the self-proclaimed "celebrity real estate agent," who is handling the property as a private listing. He declined to name the current owner, although news reports say they have connections to the family of the late Tony "The Ant" Spilotro, who was portrayed by Joe Pesci in the movie.

"Casino," perhaps the best mob movie ever produced, details many of the real life events that happened in the house, which Rosenthal often used for meetings, Auxier says. For example, current Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman was a frequent guest, back when he was known as a mob lawyer.

"There is so much history attached to this property--and much of it is written in blood," Auxier said.
