Mmalioni, I heard Spilotro went to see Accardo in 1985, not to take over the Outfit, but to seperate from Chicago and form a Las Vegas family with soldiers from other families that were operating in and around Las Vegas, and to leave Reno alone after he had a meeting with Frank Sorce from San Jose and two members from San Francisco in 1984.

Accardo was pretty much retired by 1986, but did give out his advise to other members of the family.
