Who Killed Bugsy Siegel? The Case That Haunts Las Vegas
Nov 25, 2025
On June twentieth, nineteen forty-seven, Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel was shot nine times through the window of a Beverly Hills mansion. The killer fired from a rose garden fifteen feet away with professional precision. Within twenty minutes, three men walked into Siegel's Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas and announced they were taking over. The execution was perfect. The timing was perfect. And seventy-five years later, no one has ever been arrested.
This cold case file examines the unsolved murder that changed Las Vegas and organized crime forever. We analyze the forensic evidence recovered from 810 North Linden Drive: nine shell casings, ballistics reports showing military-grade marksmanship, and witness testimony that revealed nothing. We investigate the financial motive behind Siegel's death—six million dollars in cost overruns on the Flamingo Hotel that enraged the National Crime Syndicate.
We explore the theories that have persisted for decades: Did Meyer Lansky, Siegel's lifelong friend, order the hit? Did Lucky Luciano give approval from exile in Italy? Was it a Commission decision involving multiple mob families? And why was Virginia Hill conveniently in Paris when the shooting occurred?
The evidence suggests a sanctioned mob execution carried out with precision and protected by a wall of silence that has never been breached. Modern forensic analysis has confirmed the shooter's position and expertise, but the identity remains unknown. Declassified FBI files from two thousand fifteen provided new details about Siegel's final months but no smoking gun.
This is a case where everyone knows who was responsible, but no one can prove it. The file remains open. The questions remain unanswered.
This is Mafia Crime Files. We examine the evidence. We analyze the silence. We explore the murders that were too perfect to solve.
