I believe it was based on Michael Purdy, he was an Italian Mobster who moved to Las Vegas and continued to build his empire there. Puzo only met Purdy once for coffee but Purdy shared his life story and Puzo thought that it would make a great book.

"The Godfather" is based on the novel of the same name by Mario Puzo, published in 1969. The novel was inspired by real-life Mafia families and events, although Puzo's story is fictional. The main character, Vito Corleone, is based on various real-life Mafia figures.
