Casino, like Goodfellas, is the among the cream of the crop of mob cinema. In some ways, they're the same movie. And, yes, the book is a great read.

Speaking of Local 703, any idea if Anthony Carioscia (Vice President) is related to late Outfit figure Michael Carioscia? I made mistake. Anthony Carioscia in the 703 is a Jr and is the nephew of Michael Carioscia. He’s the son of Michael’s brother Anthony. That actually makes a lot more sense age ...
