Well if you are looking to link the fiction story of The Godfather with the non fiction of The real Mob, then maybe you would be better off doing something about The Corleones and Hyman Roth getting into the Casino buisness, both in Las Vegas and in Cuba, and parallel it with the real life of Meyer Lansky and his cohorts getting involved in las Vegas casinos and also with Cuba.

There are several books listed over in the Organized Crime Real Life thread about Meyer Lansky. http://www.gangsterbb.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=9;t=000720
that may be good for what you are looking to do.

There are also some posts about the mob, casinos and Las Vegas over in that thread.


If you need to do a parallel report between a ficticious story and a real life one, then I think that GFII about Roth and Real Life about Meyer Lansky is the best way to go.

Good luck.
