Carl Cohen (businessman)
Carl Cohen (February 15, 1913 – December 26, 1986) was an American businessman. He was a well-known executive in the gambling resort industry in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the 1940s through 1970s and is credited with playing an important role in the development of Las Vegas as a premier resort destination. He began his career as a bookie and operator in illegal gambling clubs operated by the Mayfield Road Mob in Cleveland, Ohio. Moving to Las Vegas, he became casino manager for the El Rancho Vegas in the 1940s and the Sands Hotel and Casino in the 1950s; he also had a controlling interest in both resorts. He advanced to senior vice president of the Sands and, in 1973, became senior vice president of the newly opened MGM Grand Hotel. He gained national notoriety for a 1967 altercation with Frank Sinatra at the Sands, in which he responded to the singer's drunken and aggressive behavior by punching him in the mouth and knocking the caps off his front teeth.
==Biography==
Carl Cohen was born in Cleveland, Ohio. He began his career as a bookie and an operator in illegal gambling clubs run by the Mayfield Road Mob in that city. The Mayfield Road Mob had connections to mobster Moe Dalitz.
Cohen moved to Las Vegas in 1941 to become casino manager at the El Rancho Vegas, where he succeeded by being "respectful always to the prerogatives of the Boys and of such esteemed guests as Howard Hughes, for whom he kept a hotel cabin permanently reserved". In 1943 he became part-owner of the resort.
His catering to Hughes was what lost him his job at El Rancho Vegas in 1955 and gained him a new job at the Sands. One night, El Rancho owner Beldon Katleman was inspecting the packed casino when he noticed a man dressed in jeans and tennis shoes sitting beside the well-heeled high rollers at the gaming tables. He ordered Cohen to eject the unsightly patron (it was Howard Hughes), Cohen refused, and their argument in the middle of the casino became physical when Katleman jabbed Cohen and Cohen punched Katleman in the jaw, flooring him. Cohen then walked out, followed by half of the dealers who were already disgruntled by Katleman's behavior. A few hours later, Jakey Freedman, one of the operators at the Sands, invited Cohen to come in for an interview, and Cohen accepted the job of casino manager, along with a controlling interest of five points in the hotel operation. He brought along the dealers who had walked out with him and many of his wealthy clients, including Hughes.
