    You should have seen me a few years ago with my Caddy (Fleetwood) stopping for gas in Tennessee. Totally Jersey'ed out with the fake hair, tits, tan and nails.

    I'm like, "and that's got something to do with me, how?"

    Down here in Tx, many of the clubs are owned by Greeks and Lebanese. There are definate family connections, and shady shit is known to go on. I actually have quite a bit of knowledge about them but I'm not speaking. Its not mafia related though. And they certainly aren't "terrorist" cells either, as a stereotype might ensue.

    But yeah, its not all clean and squeeky in this industry. Hence, I would never want to run an SC, too much b.s. to deal with.

    Thank you DlyanAngel!! They are two different countries, man! LOL. I'm actually a quarter Sicilian so I love them both equally, but they are as different as America and Canada!

    Saying that you're Sicilian is kinda like saying your American. Both places are total melting pots anymore. And honestly, despite the fact that I HAVE Sicilian family, most do NOT differentiate Sicily from Italy, nor the mafia. Hell, my Sicilian relatives speak primarily Italian, so it's not like they're showing any real differentiation there either. Nothing you can do about it really. Getting bent will do no good. Just like any other nationality, you're going to get the obligatory stereotype questions. If you're Italian, you're in the mafia, if you're German you're a nazi... I get both of those all of the time. Hell, when folks hear I'm also Libyan, I get asked if I hijack airplanes. Oh well. Har har, and I'm over it, that fast.


    Ok, I'm done threadjacking.

    agreed. however in tampa it wasnt as long as 30 years ago!

Eventually the Sands, Sahara, Riviera, Stardust, Caesar's, Tropicana, Circus-Circus, Aladdin, Fremont and others were all built/owned by the mob...some of it with their own money and some, as you pointed out, with Teamster money.

    It was only in the mid-60's when Howard Hughes started buying up casinos that other corporations began investing and mob lost ownership control of many. Even still, mob control of the Stardust and a few others remained until the mid-80's.

    Further, SCs like the Crazy Horse Too were built with mob money and owned by mafioso. They are STILL owned by mafioso (at least the one in Vegas and one in Chicago are). To say they are not is to say that Allen Glick owned the Stardust. If you doubt what I'm saying, please click the link that I posted above and read about what's going on with The Crazy Horse Too - Vegas right now, as we speak. Or better yet, read this:

    Back when Vegas was just getting started, with the old casinos that no longer exist its true Vegas was heavily run by the Mafia. That is no longer the case. Whiel Im sure the Mafia still has a presence in Vegas, it is a small one, and not nearly as large as it used to be. Now all the large casinos are run by huge corporations, not by one single owner, or small group. The Strip is basicially divided by 2 main companies. Harrahs and MGM. Between the 2 of them, they own everything on the strip aside from the Venetian and Wynn. As for Strip clubs in vegas, yeah, a few of them are owned and run by Mafia. I can think of a few off the top of my head, but certainly not ALL of Vegas, or MOST of Vegas is run by the Mob.Their presence is not as heavy as it once was here.....but....what does it matter? They run their business legally, they follow the laws as far as I can tell, and as long as the business is run properly, i dont see what it matters.

    O.k., I'm going to say this ONE last time.

    Last time (about 8 months ago) I posted this, and had to Vamp out and kill strippers. (Yes, I AM turned, but I am fighting a war here.)

    ALL strip clubs are is a facade. It's really a tightly managed organization of night walkers and suckheads. It's a global pyramid scheme that covers the WORLD. You think all they have control over is some of the government factions, and the blood donor operations?

    You have been so mislead.

    Where do you think these operations get their funding? The Government budget?

    Think again suckah.

    Stripping is the sole female recruitment and hunting gathering of the female renegade vampires that still support the cause but choose to do so in their own way. Forgotten by the order this is a GLOBAL, that's right GLOBAL scheme ran by VenusGoddess, headed up by the lead manager Rhiannon. Seated in their inner circle is the vampire community's most viciously beautiful and deadly assassins.

    They use their hypnotic abilities to lure in poor, and otherwise distinguished, gentleman and extract money from their wallets as their male counterparts would blood from their necks.

    They do not feed within the confines of the local establishment. This is for money gathering and "mark" assignments anyways. Some operate through drug sales, some get charged with a band member to follow around... it's pretty spread out and intricate, but deadly.

    Once you spot one, as they are, even in a supermarket, airport, or even a public spa....your life is forfeit.

    THE BOUNCER?! PROTECTION?! MOTHERFUCKER, THAT'S A PLANT. HE'S NOTHING. He's fucking hoping to get turned.

    You're best protection once you've visited one of these organizations is to keep your money at an even flow. It's less work for them, and they like the viscous teasing they provide so they're more likely to let you continue patronizing the club. Unless you become a hit, or a liability.

    If you are offered "Blood Extras" or to pay for some "nastyness" you're done for. There is no help.

    They report to Venusgoddess through their local management in their states. Each district has a figure head. They don't report simply on successful hits, monitary gain, and local feed...but potential breeding.

    It's been said that VenusGoddess herself handpicked a DJ who tried wanted to be turned and not only turned him, but made him into one of the most ruthless members mayors of the commune inducting her with some powerful offspring.

    It's a dark world out there, and most people don't even know it. You wake up day after day, and as long as you see the sunlight you assume safety. Not for once thinking for a mere moment the lives lost and threatened at the hands of these vicious creatures night after night under the image of the alluring body and the sin of deceit and taboo. Your nights you're so blissful to are over run with the blood of the innocent while you dream of puppies and beaches with your little princess.

    Who am I?

    I'm Mastridonicus. I track and hunt these demons.

    There was this guy sitting with a hooker at a bar in Vegas. They talk and chat for awhile, then he asks, "How much for a hand job?"

    The hooker answers that it would be $100.

    "No way!" says the guy. "No hand job is worth $100."

    "Really?" says the hooker. "You see this bar? I own this bar. And I bought it with the money I got from giving guys like you hand jobs."

    So the guy decides to give it a try, pays his hundred bucks, and gets the best hand job of his life.

    After he catches his breath and has a few drinks, he takes another look at the hooker's beautiful legs, cleavage, and especially the luscious red mouth. Then he asks how much for a blowjob.

    "$500," says the hooker.

    "No way!" says the guy. "No blow job is worth $500."

    "Come here," says the hooker, taking him to the front window. "You see that casino across the street? I own that casino, and I bought it with the money I earned from giving blow jobs."

    So, the guy pays his $500 and gets the blow job of his life. Again, he catches his breath, has a few drinks, and then decides to ask one more question.

    "How much for a little pussy?"

    "Come here," says the hooker, and takes him up to the roof. "You see all the lights of Las Vegas out there?"

    "No way!" says the guy. "You don't own all of Las Vegas!"

    "No, I don't," says the hooker, "but I would if I had a pussy."

    I don't know where you are in Texas, but in Houston the biggest SC owners by far are a pair of Iranian brothers.

    They own other clubs around the country too. No Mob and no Terrorist connections!

    I'm from NYC, and it was different there. Maybe the Mob owned or was heavily involved with SC's in NYC once. Not here in Texas, I don't think organized crime has ever taken a foothold. Maybe a little bit of Dixie Mafia, and Biker Gangs, but nothing ever like NYC organized crime.

    I thought they were Lebanese. And the terrorist connection was a joke. The guys who own clubs down here all about about the money and business.

    same thing here. most are owned by Greeks and they're certainly some shadiness going on. but, it has lil to do with me and for the most part lil' to do with anything that affects the day to day biz of the club.

    One of my favorite strip club owners/bosses was of Sicilian descent & from a family full of Teamster longshoremen (*cough cough*)....He was just lucky enough to find legit funding for his club & was a great success without shady business. Still, no one crossed him....Just sayin'...

    (& One of my best friend's family is descended from 1950's-era Legitimate Businessmen. I laugh my a*s off when they refuse to watch "The Sopranos" with me. It's nothing new to them.)
