In the 1970s, the American Mafia didn't just run casinos; they owned them. This is the incredible, true story of how four major crime families—Chicago, Kansas City, Milwaukee, and Cleveland—orchestrated the most sophisticated financial crime in history: The Las Vegas Skim.

Using a massive $63 Million loan from the corrupt Teamsters Pension Fund, the mob installed a clean-cut "front man," Allen Glick, as the official owner of the Stardust and Fremont casinos. Meanwhile, legendary mob associate Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal ran the floor, systematically stealing millions of dollars in cash before it was reported or taxed.

The scam was perfect, but it had one fatal flaw: it relied on men who were not bound by the code of omertà. When the FBI's investigation (Operation Strawman) closed in, Glick had a choice: years in prison or a new life in witness protection. His betrayal—the testimony of one key snitch—exposed the entire cross-country pipeline, leading to the simultaneous conviction of crime bosses from four cities and the complete end of the Mafia's reign in Las Vegas.

Watch now to go inside the count rooms, the negotiations, and the betrayal that changed organized crime forever.
