Geoff Schumacher, director of content for The Mob Museum and author of Howard Hughes: Power, Paranoia & Palace Intrigue, will trace the history of reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes’ secret arrival in Las Vegas 50 years ago this month.

Why did Hughes come to Las Vegas? What did he do when he was here? How did the Mob fit into his activities? Why did he suddenly leave four years later? These questions and more will be explored during this multimedia presentation.
