People continually ask me if and when the mob has left Las Vegas. My answer is always the same: It depends whether you think dinosaurs are extinct. A civilian will likely say "yes." If you ask a paleontologist, you'll likely get a more measured answer having to do with birds.
Correct.

There still remains an underlying corruption in the Las Vegas area. The entire Sibella matter was swept under the rug, and the local media was complicit.

Once the feds got involved, then suddenly it was covered. And once Ohtani got involved, then it became a national story.
