Gambling ties loom over Las Vegas clubs and mob cash
The piece cites Reader’s Digest charges that chartered tours and gambling profits fund crime networks across major U.S. cities. It links Las Vegas casinos to figures like Frank Costello Meyer Lansky Moe Dalitz and Tony Accardo, notes hidden ownership and shell deals, and recalls the 1950s- era mob infractions and Greenbaum murders as signs of cash driven crime. Nevada governor Grant Sawyer says the Gaming Board will root out the mob influence, while Velie estimates casino cash flow runs $25 000 to $30 000 daily to cover operating costs.
