Al Moe is an Amazon best-selling author and historian specializing in the hidden history of Nevada gambling, organized crime, and the rise of Las Vegas and Reno as casino capitals. His work focuses on the period following the legalization of gambling in 1931, examining how mobsters, casino operators, politicians, and law enforcement shaped the industry behind the scenes.
Drawing on historical records, court documents, government investigations, and contemporary accounts, Moe separates fact from myth to document how organized crime influenced Nevada’s casinos through skimming operations and covert ownership. His books explore both well-known figures and lesser-known power brokers who helped transform desert towns into global gambling destinations.
He is the author of Vegas and the Mob, Mob City: Reno, Vegas and the Chicago Outfit, Nevada’s Golden Age of Gambling, and The Roots of Reno, and is the founder of NevadaGamingHistory.
