No like FiveFelonies said, New York had sold off their share of the casinos, the murder of Bugsy pretty much marked the change in power in vegas from New York to Chicago.

Although Chicago Did go to Tony Salerno when they were trying to sell the Stardust in the 80s, when steve wynn was supposedly blocking the sale, there were wiretaps in Salernos social club between Salerno and Tronlone, where Salerno was promised a a share of sale of the Stardust if he could get wynn to stop blocking the sale. But i believe Salerno was arrested before he could intervene.

The Geneveses also had soldier Filippo "Springfield Sam" Manarite who was active in Las Vegas for decades.
