LAS VEGAS - Mayor Oscar Goodman, the flamboyant, gin-sipping, sports-gambling, showgirl-squiring executive of Sin City, is caught in a contradiction. For years, he had told the world, "There is no mob." This was when he was a defense lawyer who represented mobsters and even had a cameo playing himself in "Casino." Now, as mayor, he wants to take a National Historic Landmark, the old federal courthouse where he tried his first case, and turn it into a mob museum. Many of Goodman's constituents and some former FBI agents are appalled by the idea, but Goodman insists he's just recognizing Vegas' founding fathers. "The mob founded us, and I never apologized for them because I represented them, and they made me a rich man," he said.
