You got that right. When the feds forced the Mafia out of the casinos, they took over just about everything else: construction, transportation, waste removal, liquor distribution, food wholesaling, etc. No secret why staying in Vegas is now an expensive proposition. Gimme the old days when the mob ran the casinos and took their cut off the top. I liked cheap rooms, cheap food, cheap entertainment, and free drinks with the gambling.
The government and the mob are both parasites.
The difference is, the mob has limits.
