I'm also wondering why the west coast families, or whatever was left of them in the '70s, weren't cut in on the skim operations specifically, as all of the midwest families seemed to be. Los Angeles is the closest family to Las Vegas by proximity. Didn't the commission have a rule about the local family getting a taste?
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
