You ask why there was never a mob "war" over Las Vegas? Simple!
Because since the very beginning. From day #1. Las Vegas was declared by "The Commission" to be an "open city." A place where any family, crew, or mob guy could operate freely. NOBODY, no one family, had the ability to plant their flag there exclusively...Period!
For that matter, both Miami and Havana (Cuba), and later Atlantic City, were also declared to be "open cities."
N.Y.M………..Florida was always an open State, however, from what I have read it was customary for out of town LCN, to check in with Trafficante, due to his wealth, power and respect he commanded.
