The Spilotro brothers were executed in a basement in Bensenville and buried in a cornfield in Indiana as depicted in the movie "Casino" which depicts the corruption at the Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas. Joe Pesci portrayed one of the Spilotro brothers.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 6.0 square miles (15.6 km²), all of it land. Some of the land within Bensenville is technically part of O'Hare Airport and belongs to the city of Chicago, though no people reside there. There are two cemeteries on O'Hare property that are connected with Bensenville churches. The cemeteries predate the airport by a considerable margin, and there has been significant litigation concerning O'Hare airport's desire to move the cemeteries for purposes of extending runways and the churches' desire to have the graves remain undisturbed.
