  • the Mob is still in vegas, new york, chicago, canada, boston and so on, I know plenty of wiseguys including my brother in new york at the moment shit the guy on carfellas was a former gangster,

  • Its weird how bugsy siegel branched off from new york and built the flamingo,only to be murdered for spending too much of the mobs money. Little did they know Las Vegas would end up being one of their biggest money makers ever.

  • look at Madoof , they said he was crying one day to his family saying he made it. Yea he made it into the New York Mafia. Wall st Casino business. 50 billion racket, the funny thing is it was his own son that kissed him .

  • @mrtundra45 hell yeah! italians rule!

  • wasnt all of vegas casinos mob run from before the 80's?

  • its ALWAYS better when italians are in charge.... fuck the gov.

  • thats a clssy watch @ 1:20, id love it, anyone know what type of whatch it is?

  • I havent been to Las Vegas since last year, Everything is drying up. you couldn't find a seat in there at MGM ,Paris or Belligio , now its just vacant. Have any seat you want.My honest opinion is you invest with the Gangsters on Wall st or you can try gamble it a Casino because they all are fixed against you any way. You start winning big , there like must be cheating. You have to have system, you go in blind on Wall st or Las Vegas you going to come out broke. Old Vegas will survive.Tri Citys?

  • Hey everybody what type of watch is it at 1:20

  • @mrtundra45 MENTALIST

  • watch the movie casino(1995) staring robert D.

  • this"skim" is how it should be .

  • and why not??? the mafia built Las Vegas

  • The mob should still have the casino's at least they didn't feed their employee's to the IRS, like the corporations do now. I worked in the casinos for over 20 years they took care of us, great insurance, 401K plans (when available), and hardly any taxes on our tips, now are taxed 100% on their tips, plus their wage. More than any other wage, plus tip state in the nation.

  • Just like in the balkans today!!

  • las vegas was just a big phat pussy waiting to get fucked

  • There wasn't any violent crime because they couldn't fine any.* It's hard to find a body in the desert.

  • The Mafia and the US military are very similar in a way.

    Whenever they set up a base, be that domestic and esp foreign they very rarely ever let it go.

    Vagas is too much of a cash cow for that.

    How to 'get away with it' then!.

    Just buy up the controlling shares in some BIG legit corporation then have that corporation buy up the Casino/Hotel/City.

    All the Billions of Dollars of dirty money getting washed every year soon adds up, it's but a tiny fraction of their money making empire.

  • @XIPM3

    the mafia runs the government

    the military are the mafias pawns

    QED

    OK then

    Your government IS an organised crime!

    How much do they pay you?

    They should pay me instead i'm better :O)

  • @lukkbox Babe...that's the illuminati and the CIA, according to some people (not me!)

  • @HappyHookerTV your under the illusion those organisations are not connected i see, interesting lol

  • @lukkbox Hey, if you can, I just sent you a message. Please help me to make sense of it. Thank you.

  • @HappyHookerTV

    im sorry, it was far too long and im tired

    be happy, love everything

  • For a good laugh you might need to check out the "Shake For Me Now" video in my site. What mafia ? I know nuthin'

  • The dumb ass narrator can't even say the word 'mafia' the right way. Ha! Ha!

  • no shit

  • I think Vegas is Clean from Mafia Today.

    Sheldon Edelson, Kirk or Wynn-

    They are like the legal mafia lol no one would take with them.

    But Underground I believe it's 90% goneand definitly not contrl the cashes of the Casino.

  • can someone please tell me where or how I can find the full version of this documentary... I saw it twice on national geographic, but now I need it for schoolwork and I can't find the full version...

    I hope you guys can help me..

    greetz

  • @wawazuku

    LOL Did you ever find the full version for your school work? I wonder what kind of work that is, like a paper?

  • The MAFFEa. x]

  • This video ois so inspirational...

  • where ya from?

  • I don't live in one place, sometime in the US, sometimes in UK, Holland, Columbia...

  • The Mafia created Vegas...talk about power

  • the Mafia own the Las Vegas casino the Mafia is rich to

  • fascinating like this FBI agent is talking: "the skim, they take a percentage, accountable to no one"

    It's a bit like the government, they skim you in taxes and are accountable to no one, they run the courts.

  • i remember working for the federal government. and i became disabled. well they gave me checks every week while i was off work. when i took a settlement on my injuries they kept sending me disability checks. so i sent them back every time. then they said they owed me the money. well finally i got tired and cashed the checks then they hit my federal taxes for the money owed and charged me interest. in which was double of what the checks was ten years later. lol

  • @modelmark

    Your gubbmint is a mafia

  • @modelmark Yes, however the government is accountable as it can be voted out. The problem is that it can take a long time. What other system is available? 

  • @hnk777 Your vote has no effect. You vote for change? You get the same thing. You can chose between people that are already bought and paid for.

    The alternative is making all interactions voluntary, putting all human needs on an equal footing. It's called market anarchism. It means you don't bud into other people's lives with guns through politicians. You leave them alone when they want to be left alone. No compulsory funding of people you do not trust. The more freedom the more wealth creation.

  • daaang! Wrong. I wish you lived here in Spain with me, you would see HOW wrong you are, buddy.

  • This is where the terrorists will jump in,blow up buildings,kill innocents and Rainbow Six will sent in.

  • are sherriff just got busted in our county for having under-age girl with him while both was intoxicated!! it took 30 years to finally get somebody to listen. now they get rid of him. but before he sold more dope. vehicles anything he could get his hands on. even the criminals didnt trust him. he burned more crack houses down for being afraid of his dna being found in the beds! but some people kept voting him in office. but now they are saying well we didnt know. bullshit. at least crooks dont

  • you think the mafia is involved in the casinos this today?

  • Only the underground, illegal casinos. The big casinos like the MGM, Caesar's, and the Bellaggio are all government run, and big corporations that took over, and they're very strict about keeping the Mafia out of casinos, and any connection to the mafia will cost the casino its gambling license

  • They may be secretly owned by the Mafia. Remember the movie "Casino" starring Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci? That wasn't an underground casino.

  • But it was about 30 years ago..

  • Frank Rosenthal doesnt look very well.Mind you he is very old now.

  • Rosenthal passed away last year

  • they will pay if they are asked to pay, by the rite person. Anything can be infiltrated.

  • The Mob is not dead, it's alive and well.Here in America it runs smarter than in the old days. The Mafia's "hay day" in Vegas is long gone. Whether they have a hand in todays events as far as strikes and unions, if they operate correctly, we'll never really know. We'll be reduced to rumors and guesses. I don't believe for a second that casinos or hotels are going to pay the mob anything, casinos are watched very closely by the gaming comission and the federal government.

  • the federal govt and gaming commission are worse then the mafia, the mafia were men of honor, not liberal assholes like the fedss

  • and who do you think runs the gaming comission and the federal government ?

  • good quality i love this video 5*

  • its a good job the largest air force base in america in terms of squadrons is in las vegas so. The military and the government have a vested interest in vegas after all they are the two reasons for las vegas growth, 40 miles north of vegas is the nuclear test site

    who do you think provided magnesium to the US military during WW2, google it..

    most of the water for the southwest is located less than 10 miles from town ie lake mead, there goes san diego, los angeles and phoenix

  • that makes basically everywhere worthless, your logic could be applied to anywhere. All the companies in wallstreet could move shop to london tomorrow if they wanted where pay is better and the employment pool is larger

  • "the town will never be the same again today it looks like disney land" the romance is gone.

  • I saw a documentary somewere where they interviewed a organized crime expert and he said: If you ask most experts when did the mafia leave Las Vegas they will say the 60s, 70s and 80s. But if you ask any casino owner or manager, they will say that they still lurk like a shadow over Las Vegas." In that documentary an expert also said that many casinos still pay theyre monthly cut to the mafia, even casinos bought by big corporations.

  • lets say for a second you are right

    most mafia casinos are long destroyed like sands, dunes, hacienda, desert inn and stardust. Why would corporations pay the mafia money on hotels that no longer exist, it don't make sense now does it, unless you believe the likes of adelson and wynn are mafia backers???

  • Because they are still around and paying them a minimum sum of the casino's earnings can avoid a lot of trouble. Trouble with the unions, trash routes, with the staff, probably even the gaming comission. Plus they can resort to violent methods when they want, so it is not a long stretch to say that large corporations would pay money to keep things running smooth.

  • zero proof of that, you might as well say elvis is still around or jimmy hoffa.

    fact is the mafia built casinos using teamster loans, corporations bought out mafia, corporations knocked mafia hotels, corporations borrowed money from wallstreet to pay for new hotel construction

    avoid trouble with unions yeah tell that to the frontier hotel whose workers staged a 7 year strike at that hotel from 91-98, wynn can't stand union workers and on city center they had a massive walkout recently

  • @theairsmells

    corporations are the mafia

  • I agree with your comments. A lot of things go on behind the scenes that most people wont see. Dead bodies still show up out in the desert from time to time. Even if you know people who do business in vegas will tell you straight up Mafia still conducts business. Their was a situation in which two buildings were put up by 2 different businesses. Permits and inspections kept on halting the first building (normal), while the second building started development years later and finished first.

  • yeah, i saw a documentary about bugsy segal, he was walking down the strip when it was still dirt and he said to this little girl " kid, someday they'll be all kinds of hotels here" and she said no wonder they call him bugsy

  • what docuenary gimmie link

  • Las Vegas is worth Billions of dollars, doesn't sound like nothing to me.

  • so i guess the billions of dollars vegas generates a year is worth nuttin......where you this fuckin stupid when u signed on

  • ye wot she said

  • shut yo stupid mouth, my dad use to live in vegas!

  • LasVegas is even lower than a plastic gangster...so he not only has to suck cock to get in, he also has to give out his ass hole on a platter.

  • FUCK YOU 2 BICTH

  • vegas was like the colonial age for the mafia

  • LasVegas86 is a fucking faggot bastard.

  • FUCK YOU BICTH!!!!!!

  • the mafia still runs vegas, except now they are called "Corporations" and are friends with the government

  • Was that Joe Peshi shoving some body off the roof?

  • Vegas is all fucked up now with no family to control it. There is still corruption but it is unorganized and pathetic. The guys of yesteryear such as sal rosenthal are all gone .

  • According to this show they are not.

  • as de niro says at the end of casino... Big Corporations took over..

  • The only reason the federal government and state stepped in is they were not getting their cut. So they implement taxes to steal from people. The Federal and State government saw they could steal like the Mafia but they could do it legally in their own terms.

  • I must say that all the Jewish/Italian mobster knew how to run Vegas. It was so classy to all kinds of people back then. Now you have to be a millionaire to appreciate Vegas. Here me loud and clear Vegas, it will come back and bite you in the ass sooner or later!!!! If there is ever another depression, places like Vegas will crumble.

  • True. Wynn is a super nice guy, but he can't do it alone.

  • would not have been what it is today if it didnt happen

  • haa funny hogrebel...gooda-boy... stay in schoola makea your partentsa prouda

  • yeah that's right! i live in vegas, and i can tell...

  • Anyone who thinks there isn't corruption in Vegas is completely Naive, period.

  • Yeah, now the corruption is legal.

  • I saw a documentary somewere where they interviewed a organized crime expert and he said: If you ask most experts when did the mafia leave Las Vegas they will say the 60s, 70s and 80s. But if you ask any casino owner or manager, they will say that they still lurk like a shadow over Las Vegas." In that documentary an expert also said that many casinos still pay theyre monthly cut to the mafia, even casinos bought by big corporations.

  • Correction, the Mafia KEPT violent crime out of Las Vegas, anymore we are California!

  • This is the first city should be bombed.

  • Thanks Habbib. Now get your stupid ass out there and pick up the cigarette butts, you were paid for yesterday to clean up.

  • Is this still going on?

  • no, my uncle said it stopped around the 80's

  • cool, thanks for replying:)

  • or did it?

  • Yes it is still around, and run mostly by jews.But don't go shooting ppl around anymore. They are still mafia though..they sell ectasy at dancing clubs,etc. There was an article about a Israeli mafia not so long ago in the Las Vegas Sun..Plus the gov't is the biggest mafia too LMAO.

  • Bobby Kennedy betrayed the boys as attorney general when JFK was in office. Vowed to take on the mafia and run them out of Vegas.

  • cOOL ARE THERE ANYMORE  VIDEOS?

  • If National Geographic made a documentary about it, I don't think so.o_o

  • The Italian mafia were the petty criminals :)

  • oh really thats why that it is a known fact by the u.s. they take in 1 billion dollers a year and during the great depression Tommy Luchasse made 5 million a year during the hight of the great depression which was calculated today to be 43.5 million a year for just him and the maifia in Italy Controls all of the coke in Europe and they are 30,000 strong

  • Eh...Luigi, how's my boy, eh? Let me make you an offer you CAN'T refuse. EH? LOL! =: o

  • i dont know why. but that made me laugh uncontrollably. (sp?)

  • You spelled it right! ; ) You like-a my imitation of de Godfadda, eh? Oh, you-a GOODA-BOY!!! ; )

  • Ah, the good ol day of Italian Mafia keeping petty criminals at bay.

  • - - - - - - -

  • it sounds like hes sayin "mah fee uh"

  • gambling is a sin

  • Then buying stocks, and insurance is a sin too?

  • the mafia rules... they're pretty damn smart when it comes to making money illegally.

  • I didn't see nuthin

  • You'll live longer.

  • ....

  • lol, dirty motherfuckers.

  • GOODFELLAS RULE...

  • Shiiit

  • hardcore maff!

  • so does this mean that skim milk is milk unacounted for by dairy farmers?

  • XD! You read my mind on that one.

  • lol, those dairy farmers arent too different from mobsters.

  • Now that's how you make the good money!

  • REAL GANGSTER SHIT..
