May still be the case with some local strip clubs. But on the whole, including the gaming industry, it's mostly a thing of the past.

There are those who would argue that the current corporate casino ownership is much worse than when the casinos were mob-run. And those folks make a pretty good argument.

They also drive white cars, with orange stripes on the roof and hood, and black on the lower quarter panels. You can find them at the airport, at Strip hotels, and around Fremont St. They'll be sure to go way out of your way to take real good care of you.

Oh yeah, there is one here. My thread got hijacked and moved somewhere else nowhere to be found. I guess I'll just have to start a new one away from the mafia here.

Can't remember the name of it, but there is a furniture store more or less across the street from Walker Furniture near downtown that I swear is mob run. The salesmen look straight out of a mob movie and their cars are all old Caddies. The furniture they sell is gaudy and made for a mobster's house, lots of old Italian design with a little Miami inspiration. I guess it could best be described as Vintage Vegas from the late 80s (good luck finding one sectional in there). To complete the image, they sell framed posters of mob movies, Scarface and Godfather posters are everywhere. If you want to feel like the old days you have to see it for yourself, when I left I was laughing in the car about it.
