Howard Hughs knew it, and so did Jimmy Hoffa. If you want to do straight up business in Las Vegas, then deal with the Mormons. As much as the town has changed it still feels very transient. The old mormon residents are well entrenched in the operations of the city.
The other stuff can be fun and sad too.

The truth of who is entenched in LV, has nothing to do with any religious affiliation. It has much more to do with the operatives of a long time organized crime group, once called the MAFIA. These desparados have since gone "legit" and now their heir to be's have become very sucessful businessmen, that have turned gambling into a huge business. Mormans......please...!!!

Let me tell you what, Curtis. The mormons hold a huge financial stake in LV. They own real estate, construction companies and businesses by the hundreds. They stay away from the gambling, but that isn't the only thing in town. There are well over a million people there that need the same things everyone else needs in the way of food, shelter and services. The gambling enterprises are held by huge Wall Street corporations. You better do your homework.

When your here you don't go to the tourist traps... I bin in a casino once for the buffet and havn't even put a nickle in a machine.....

I found the local NV, Utah, AZ developer, builder, lender, title insurance snakes....that have taken me out and shown me what Deliverence really means. I bought a Brand new house that has SEVERE construction defects, which they knew and din't disclose to me....FRAUD.....The biggest and best Construction Defect Attorney in the State is going to take my case on contingency....He says I have an awesome case with possible punitive damages....another attorney who couldn't take the case because she has to protect the interests of her current clients says slam dunk. Well I gave the builder a very short period to do whats right or go for it...my opinion is that there is no reasoning with a snake you just go for it.....

BTW it's a large builder, developer in LV...

Welocme to Las Vegas.

U mentioned Hoffa.. my cousins wife was his secratary...and as such testified before Congress and knew RFK...she took the 5th.. My Great Uncle knew those "Desperados"...outa Detroit and Chicago....his business partner in a Bowling Alley in Detroit was a member of the Purple Gang.... and when I was a kid I met a couple of those "desperados".... so I know the history of this place....

What makes anybody here think a good ole Mormon won't swindle you, the Lender who holds the mortgage is based in the Great City by the Salt Lake... The Mormons were the facilitators for the boyz back East... and 23% of this town is Mormon.

Heres what I notice so far, is that on every corner is a Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, Target, Vons, Smith Food King or Albertsons market....meaning everything here is large chain...not many small business's... everything is Homogenous....Plastic...because most of the place is so new... Thats what I don't like..

YO Curtis...Tucson is where the Colombo family retired to... I was also told San Antinio Heights above Upland CA is home to East Coast retirees...

OK Zeke...I'll do that. Just think if the Mormans holdings are what you describe, I would hate to imagine what the Catholics & Jews own. They started the place !!!

Well I was wrong about the 23%......Curtis as a primer U should watch the movie Casino...that will give you a very broad idea of how the "skim" worked, and how the Mormons and Mob guys interfaced. Just forget the actors and listen to the narrative.
