This from Dick Cheney, arguably the most hated man in America.

I believe the gaming companies are using the economy as reason to lower wages and benefits. If they can afford to expand their companies, why then, can they not afford better heath care insurance and a 401K? Screw the employees but executive pay is skyrocketing. No need to wonder why service levels in Las Vegas are disintegrating.

It appears, the Fertittas have been granted many immunities and entitlements, not accustomed to those without their connections.

Since their release from prison, it's heavily rumored that Faraci and Rizzolo are back in the strip club business along with another Crazy Horse Too convicted felon named Al Rapuano (walking behind Rizzolo in this AmericanMafia.com photo by Mike Christ). Faraci at Eden; Rizzolo and his family at Bada Bing; and Rapuano at Penthouse -- three clubs located in the county, two on land owned by the Fertitta family of Station Casinos fame.

The Fertittas proudly attended Rick Rizzolo's welcome home party on April 4, the day he was released from custody, even though Nevada law prohibits unlimited gaming license holders from associating with ex-felons.

Ted Binion lost his gaming license at the Horseshoe because of his relationship with Herb Blitzstein, and Frank Sinatra lost his gaming license at Cal Neva Lodge because of his relationship with Sam Giancana.

But the same gaming enforcement rules no longer seem to apply to the Fertitta family in this new Las Vegas. This family seems to be immune to scrutiny even though they unabashedly associate with guys who rightfully belong in our state's infamous Black Book of persons excluded from entering casinos.

I hope the casinos lose business over this. Their greed and lack of community involvement are major contributors to our increasingly violent society.
