Harry Reid vs Frank Rosenthal
This clip of Rosenthal’s meltdown at a Gaming Commission meeting, then chaired by future senator Reid – taken from Ned Day and Robert Stoldal’s series “Mob on the Run” for KLAS TV – became the basis for a fictionalized scene in Casino (1996). Both Reid and Rosenthal survived subsequent car-bombing attempts. Rosenthal, who ran the Stardust, Fremont, Marina, and Hacienda casinos in the 70s, was formally banned from Nevada casinos in ‘87.
