During the 1950's another big player in the prostitution racket was Jimmy The Monk Allegretti. Allegretti was the Outfits representative on the North Side and almost every hotel,tavern,bar or club on North Side held at least 20 of Allegretti's prostitutes night and day.Mostly the price for his hookers went from 20$ to 500$.Some of the girls even operated from Allegretti's meat markets.

During the late 50's Sam Giancana regularly smuggled prostitutes from the Philippines who were bought from Manila for few dollars and after they were sold in the U.S. and around the world.Giancana,together with Skinny D'Amato,owned the Cal Neva Lounge in Lake Tahoe.They were running a state wide prostitution ring out of the hotel.Also by this time one of Giancana's underlings Felix "Milwaukee Phil" Alderisio also controlled the prostitution racket in nearby Milwaukee.Willie Daddano was also running prostitutes out of the River Road Motel in Rosemont.

Also Joey Aiuppa took over some of the prostitution rackets.He's partner was Chicago’s most infamous keeper of the ladies,Madam Rose.She supplied expensive prostitutes to the wealthy, the powerful and the Chicago Mob.During the 60s and 70s Joey Doves became so close that he became her personal protector and they made a lot of money.

John Gattuso owned the French Doll Loung,the Playhouse,the French Casino and New Jamie's on North Clark Street which supposedly served as a meat market for rent boys and their admirers.The New Jamie's was well known as a place to pick up male prostitutes.He also had connections in the Sparrow's, The Gold Coast, and The Club Bath at 609 North La Salle Street.

From the 50’s untill the 80’s the Chicago mob also controlled prostitution in Las Vegas with the help of mobsters like Frank Panno and Gus "the Greek" Palladinos.Frank Panno was a partner in a multi-million-dollar call- girl ring with Doris "Dolly" Fischer, the notorious Buffalo Grove madam.
