Frank 'Lefty' Rosenthal, born on June 12, 1929 in Chicago, Illinois, is a renowned sports handicapper and a former Las Vegas casino manager. He secretly ran the Stardust, Fremont and Hacienda casinos when they were controlled by the mafia. He was the first to bring a sports book into the casino, making the Stardust one of the world's leading centers for sports gambling.
After being forced out of Las Vegas, Rosenthal retired to San Diego, California and then to Boca Raton, Florida, where he continues to handicap sports events, marketing his picks to gamblers through his own website (http://www.frankleftyrosenthal.com/).
The 1995 Martin Scorsese film, Casino, based on the book by Nicholas Pileggi, was based on Rosenthal's career in Las Vegas.
