It's highly doubtful that the DiMeos, one of several NJ families (only dominating NORTH Jersey) had any interests as far out as Nevada in the 60s. And Johnny Boy as a made man (possibly even a Capo given he was 43 in 1967) would've been basically running away from his Family had Livia accepted the idea. He might've gotten mixed up in minor rackets, as a bookie, but I doubt he would've been accepted open arms into a Nevada family. It's not the NFL. I don't think guys, especially Captains, usually get traded from family to family. Even Tony says to Livia it was perhaps Johnny's chance to get out...

I think you are thinking of New York which has 5 families. new jersey only has one which is based on the decalvacante family. Philly is another state that only has one family along with Chicago
