Overview

Return to a time when the mob ran Galveston and their guests were treated as if they were family. When you crossed the bridge you enter "The Free State of Galveston," where the only rules were mob rules. The stars of the era were world class entertainers brought in to perform in the casinos, including Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Dean Martin. Everyone was enjoying their own "Vegas Dream" right here in Galveston.

David was very knowledgeable on the history of Galveston. He left us wanting to do more tours with the company. You may not have seen the inside of these buildings but just from the outside you had a feel of what they once looked like and you can just imagine how the whole area and the people looked.
