Mob Con 2013: The Mob Convention in Las Vegas - 06/06/13 03:58 AM

Spend YOUR Vacation Rubbing Shoulders with Made Men!


Spend your annual vacation this year sipping drinks and learning where the bodies are buried…literally! The Las Vegas Mob Convention comes to the Palace Station Casino September 7-8, 2013. The speakers list is chalk full not only with former gangsters and thugs but also balanced out with retired lawmen and politicians.

Former Chicago mob associate Frank Cullotta leads off a speaking list that includes Andrew DiDonato, a former member of the Gambino Crime Family, Mobster Historian Tony Montana, and mob-associate-turned-author Frank Calabrese.

Representing law and order side of the coin at the convention is Dennis Arnoldy, former FBI veteran and current private investigator, Undercover Organized Crime Investigator Vito Colucci, and former investigator/current mystery author Dennis Griffin.

These names are the tip of a dark, underworld iceberg, with more being added daily. In addition to the list of speakers is a “Wize Guyz” Cocktail party that includes a meet-and-greet with the whole crew as well as a tour of the Tropicana “Mob Attraction.”

Attendees will also be able to attend Q&A panel discussions where they can challenge the experts on their mob knowledge as well as receive complimentary passes for the Vegas Mob Tour. Convention raffle prizes range from books, cigars, and dinner certificates to a wine tasting with the white or black hat of your choice.

Mob-inspired art and memorabilia will be auctioned off and attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy an evening of comedy and music featuring a tribute to Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett.

It’s hard to imagine a more intense mob experience that you can walk away from, and you can start your weekend early by having a drink or two at the Mob Bar and taking in the sights and sounds of the world-class Mob Museum!

If you are in the Las Vegas area the weekend of September 7-8, 2013, let Las Vegas treat you like a Made Man!

So with only one GIF, is the website merely old-fashioned and not ugly?

Yeah, the website ain't exactly art. Hopefully they'll get someone else for next year!

I was one of the speakers and this thing was great. I was unsure and only went because Denny Griffin asked me to speak. I was impressed with the quality of ex-mob guys and agents. Plus, every speaker made themselves available to meet and talk with attendees. I am going back, but I cannot go back for a couple of years as a speaker. My deal is that I worked on the Kansas City mob in the 1970s during the Skimming investigation known as Strawman. I obtained all the audio put in as evidence and used it in a documentary film.

Wish I could have gone. Would have been great to have met you. I'm writing a little something on Operation Strawman, but mostly the Chicago side of things. I have a lot of info on the early Kansas City mob for another project so am pretty familiar with that aspect too. Any chance someone recorded the presentations for posting on YouTube or some other site?

Wonder if Cullotta and Calabrese were meeting attendees? Are they openly living their lives or are they hidden away in witness protection?
