This video is part of a series that investigates the history and activities of organized crime in America. The migration of Sicilians to America brought with it members of the Family, a highly organized subculture that controlled the political power structure of the western region of Italy. The concept transferred well to America, in both New York and Chicago. This volume looks at the success of the mafia in the gambling mecca of Las Vegas, where organized crime gained a stronghold. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, Rovi
