Mob front man Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal ran four casinos in Las Vegas in the 1970s. On October 4, 1982, Rosenthal finished eating dinner out with a few friends and got into his 1981 Cadillac in the 600 block of East Sahara in Las Vegas, NV. When he started his car, a bomb was detonated (Las Vegas Sun, Oct 5, 1982). His Cadillac was destroyed. The trunk was found 60 yards away. Miraculously, probably due to a metal plate under the drivers seat, Rosenthal survived.
