The Rise And Fall Of A 'Casino' Mobster The Tony Spilotro Story Through A Hitman's Eyes by Dennis Griffin and Frank Cullotta. In the 1970s, Las Vegas became a hub for organised crime, with the Chicago Outfit exerting significant influence over its casinos. To ensure their interests were protected, the Outfit sent an enforcer to Sin City in 1971. Tony Spilotro was his name, and he brought a team of skilled operatives from Chicago, including childhood friend Frank Cullotta, who became his trusted lieutenant. As part of this operation, Cullotta assembled a crew of experts in theft, arson, and violence, dubbed the "Hole in the Wall Gang". Their work was marked by ruthless efficiency, as they carried out lucrative burglaries and dealt with anyone who threatened the Outfit's interests. This true story is told from Cullotta's unique perspective, offering a fascinating insight into the world of Las Vegas organised crime. The events that unfolded were dramatized in the 1995 film Casino, but this book provides a more nuanced understanding of the real-life figures involved. With its gripping narrative and behind-the-scenes look at the Outfit's operations, The Rise And Fall Of A 'Casino' Mobster is a compelling read for anyone interested in true crime stories.
