Stéphane Bern & Matthieu Noël SEASON 2021 - 20224:23 p.m., April 11, 2022
Historically Yours brings together 3 characters who went to Vegas and who stayed in Vegas: Benjamin Siegel - known as "Bugsy", a notorious mobster who frequented all of Hollywood and who was the first to imagine the Las Vegas we know: he brought the first big hotel-casino out of the sands of the desert, before quickly ending up six feet underground.
Then, the land came to him to cultivate it first: William Bringhurst went to Vegas with his men to settle there and convince the people present to adhere to the ideas of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Yes, Mormons what... And a Cameroonian champion who settled in Vegas to fight: MMA legend, free fight star Francis Ngannou, alias "The Predator"...
