There are all kinds of floor managers, pit bosses and people like that up and down Nevada who go back to the mob days. The corporate owners that took over in the 80s had to keep a lot of them around to keep the parts moving. The Cortez is the only one that's still privately owned, and by someone with past mob connections. There's no way to see his books. Definitely some opportunities there and I know some poker players who believe it's mob owned. You have to wonder if the authorities even care anymore, with terrorism and everything like that. As long as it's just a cash investment with no scams that would rob employees, players, or state revenues in any way.


"...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
