For some reason, I was thinking this very thing just the other day. A successful Las Vegas casino pulls down a HUGE amount of money - day in, day out. Would an average of $10 million/month be an overestimation?

Assuming that this figure is in the ball park, 5% of $10 million/month is $500,000/month. Times all four hotels is $2 million/month. Times 12 months a year is $24 million - per year. uhwhat

Even if the total of Geary's annual extortion payments came to only half that amount, it's hard to see how the Corleones wouldn't quickly be looking for a way to get out from under the Geary's thumb - by any means necessary. I can't see Michael Corleone even hesitating to take out a US Senator - IF he was certain he could get away with it without leaving any fingerprints.
