The mob activity in Vegas is strictly street level operations these days. By this I mean loansharking, exortion, narcotic trafficking, street tax, tele-marketing and credit fraud, plus slot cheating. They are also involved in legitamite venues such as strip clubs, bars, and restaurants. The "Five Families" all have crews in Vegas, as does the Outfit. Peter Ribaste, of the Kansas City family, has a small cre of associates also operating in Vegas. Back in the mid 90s the LA and Buffalo families tried to muscle in, but the feds took them within a couple years. The mob still has a fairly large presence in the Vegas underworld.
