This semester I am taking a class called "Organized Crime" to satisfy my crimimal justice requirement. For my group project, I have been randomly assigned the topic "The mafia's involvement in Las Vegas". Besides the book/movie "Casino", I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can give me some information on the subject or recommend me some books on the subject.
Freddie,
I have a suggestion for you. I highly recommend that you do some extensive research on the Teamsters and their involvement with the mob and Las Vegas. It's very interesting stuff and for
the most part more fact based than speculative. Some of the books suggested by others here are also good sources of information for your project. Green Felt Jungle is one of them. You should also check out an excellent book, one recommended to me by our esteemed friend Turnbull, call The Black Book and The Mob.
I think that combining several of the books suggested here with researching the Teamsters union and it's involvement with Las Vegas will help to make your project an outstanding one.
Good luck and make sure to let us know how you do on your final report.
