Since the FBI was watching the Cal Neva closely, they reported that mob boss Sam Giancana did visit the facility and his presence was acknowledged by Frank Sinatra. As a result, after just two years, Frank Sinatra lost his gaming license for the Cal Neva... Years later, in the early 1980s, Frank would redeem himself before the Nevada gaming commission and win his license back after grueling testimony by himself, Kirk Douglas, the Los Angeles sheriff, and many others. It's interesting to note that in Frank Sinatra's testimony, he stated that he never saw Sam Giancana at the Cal Neva.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e* See enlargeable images \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGuaranteed Authentic for Life\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConway's Vintage Treasures\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNote:  Cvtreasures  stamp NOT on original\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CVTreasures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52353706197311,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/9597\/7023\/files\/frank-sinatra-rare-original-authentic-vintage-cal-neva-lodge-travel-brochure-memorabilia-8016143.jpg?v=1772454310","url":"https:\/\/www.vintageposterartgallery.com\/products\/frank-sinatra-rare-original-authentic-vintage-cal-neva-lodge-travel-brochure-memorabilia","provider":"Vintage Poster Masterpieces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
