In a brief flashback to 1967, we see Johnny Boy Soprano (Tony's father) and Livia arguing. Rocco Alatore, a bookmaker and sometimes loan shark victim of Johnny's, wants to relocate to Reno, Nevada, and open a new book out there, and after the book gets set up with money, Rocco wants to open a supper club and have Johnny run it. Livia nixes the idea, going so far as to threaten smothering the children rather than going to Nevada. Alatore goes and ends up becoming a millionaire.

Now, by 1967, Johnny was more than likely a made man, a Soldier in the DiMeo Family (given his and Paulie's many trips down to Florida where Johnny owned a piece of a dog track amongst other things). Relocating from Reno from Newark, NJ would've been a HUGE move, especially for a made guy. It'd basically be like retirement. Johnny is often shown as being much more vicious and old school than Tony, but could Johnny wanting to relocate to Reno and run a supper club suggest that at least at one point, he contemplated leaving the Mafia--something Tony never considered?
