I love that! And it’s even more appropriate in modern day Las Vegas. All my time spent in Vegas was in the 60s and the early 70s. The mob was never as crooked and corrupt as the bass turds running the joint these days are. The last trip I made to Vegas was in the mid- 90s when my son was there for the Air Force. I told myself I would never come back. I never have. I paid a $7.50 cover charge twice to see Elvis in August 1969 and February 1970. When I went there in the 90s, they wanted 86 bucks to see Reba. (I told them, “never mind.”)

They are certainly safer, if you were a ‘civilian’.

You are correct and particularly Vegas. When the mob ran Vegas they sold tits and ass, gambling, cheap booze and food and show girls, that is the tits and ass part. They were customer oriented and gave them what they wanted. That is not a bad business model.

My comments are not an endorsement of the mob but and endorsement of good business practices.

An “organized crime” group runs most cities. It just isn’t the old mafia. The new “bosses” are various politicians and their ilk.
