I brought this up in the "books" thread in the real organized crime section.

I'm pretty sure we already know Russo's relevant stories but the book still seems like a good read. Vegas is really trending for some reason, and I can't help but to think it's because it increasingly appears as if America in a nutshell resembles Las Vegas and the way things are done there.

Supermob by Gus Russo (no relation to Gianni I know of) has a lot of good Godfather production stories, including ones that involve Gianni.

"...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
