Judges, senators, Rockefellers, and society matrons were threatened with gruesome deaths. The perpetrators seemed both omnipresent and invisible. Their only calling card: the symbol of a black hand.

In the 1970s and thru the mid-1980s, the Chicago Outfit was the dominant organized crime family in Las Vegas, with business interests in several casinos. During those years the Outfit and its colleagues in Kansas City, Milwaukee, and Cleveland were using Sin City as a cash cow. Commonly referred to as the “skim,” unreported revenue from Outfit-controlled casinos was making its way out of Vegas by the bag full and ending up in the coffers of the crime bosses in those four locations.

Publisher's Summary
The true story behind the hit film Casino from an "enforcer" who lived it.
Tony Spilotro was the Mob's man in Las Vegas. A feared enforcer, the bosses knew Tony would do whatever it took to protect their interests. The "Little Guy" built a criminal empire that was the envy of mobsters across the country, and his childhood pal, Frank Cullotta, helped him do it. But Tony's quest for power and lack of self-control with women cost the Mob its control of Vegas; and Tony paid for it with his life.
"I was a little nervous before my first meeting with former mobster Frank Cullotta. It turned out we had a pleasant conversation that ended with an agreement for me to write his book. As I drove home, I realized I had made a deal with a career thief and killer on a handshake. What was I thinking?" (Dennis N. Griffin, author of Surviving the Mob)

A different world and how some criminals fall
Chicago and around 10 of its suburbs were settings to some events described, the whole metropolitan area there "mobbed up" and in its own style. Getting picked to relocate to Las Vegas offered a new start and good weather.
Looking at interviews of Frank Cullotta, I think Clay Lomakayu got the accent and cadence right. Cullotta talks in a simple and common sense way. He's no-drama guy, got a workmanlike attitude.
I wanted to know something about Tony Spilotro, a real tough guy and there aren't even that many photos of him. Until this book I imagined him like Joe Pesci. But Pesci is fast-talking and Spilotro doesn't come across like that.
Cullotta tells a number of things about Spilotro that ring true and make him finally familiar. Cullotta was one of the very few who really knew the guy. The book tells the conflicts Spilotro was dealing with and it was obvious he knew he'd probably be murdered.
Spilotro had no way out, but Cullotta did. They federal witness protection program, despite the privations, has a solid reputation. Otherwise people like Cullotta would have no way out of being killed. Spilotro apparently couldn't get help and knew he was probably doomed.
A no-drama but heavy conflict between Cullotta and Spilotro was the straw that broke the back of the greater operation. The FBI drove it so hard that something would break. So Cullotta was forced into being a stupid criminal not because he didn't see it coming, but because Spilotro couldn't back off.

Unfortunately I don’t have the patience to sit down and read a book And this is one I have wanted to check out for a long time. Frank Cullotta I’ve seen on some interviews and heard via a few podcast so I had a feeling the book would be very good. Definitely did not disappoint I could listen to it again very easily.

Informative and Well-Delivered
The Rise and Fall of a Casino Mobster: The Tony Spilotro Story Through a Hitman's Eyes by Frank Culotta and Dennis N. Griffin, narrated by Clay Lomakayu caught my attention one morning after having watched the movie Casino the night before. I love the movie, so I figured I couldn't go wrong in reading up on those who inspired it. Being that the only prior knowledge I had when starting this audiobook was the movie, I found myself a little lost in places, due to the many people surrounding the real-life events. However, the author does make references and connections to the movie throughout, so this helped clear up some of my confusion. Had I given myself a longer break in between watching the movie and listening to the book, I may have enjoyed the book more because the names and events from the movie were still too fresh in my mind. This is, most likely, why I found myself consfused in parts of the book. As ridiculous as this may sound, I think I was secretly wishing the book to be more of a replica of the movie, rather than a book about the real people and actual events that inspired it. Either way, it was informative and well-delivered.
The narration kept me engaged and was consistent from start to finish. However, I noticed that the chapter before part two plays through two times (within that same chapter block). This did not take away from my overall enjoyment because I was able to skip ahead by advancing to the next chapter (the first chapter of part two), but I still felt it worth mentioning.
The Rise and Fall of a Casino Mobster: The Tony Spilotro Story by Frank Culotta and Dennis N. Griffin, narrated by Clay Lomakayu grabs an overall rating of 4/5 stars. The book helped me get a better picture how everyone was connected and allowed me to understand the relationships on a deeper level, starting when they were kids. It was a really good book, and reading it made me want to learn more. I would have liked if a pdf download came with this audiobook showing pictures, names, and a "family tree" outline showing the ranking and status of each of the key players because I would have liked to place faces with names. I recommend this audiobook to those who enjoy nonfiction books about mobsters and the time period in which they reigned.
Thank you for reading my review. I hope it was helpful. :-)

Frank tells all. Doesn’t glorify his life in crime. Just tells it as it is. It’s a great listen. The amount of crime they got up to is incredible. I have all of Frank’s books. This one is great because it gives you insight on how they ran Vegas.

watch Frank Coletta on 299 dish tell his story.
outstanding read very very graphic however true to the story anytime you're talkin about Tony Spilotro be prepared it's some gory stuff and it's quite a hand in hand event explanation of the movie Casino Joe Pesci plays Tony Spilotro Henry Hill who is portrayed by Ray Liotta I believe Sharon Stone is Lefty's wife.

it's ok
the actual story of tony spilotro is a very intersting story it's just not represented very well here in this book. i know this is his story through frank cullotta's eyes but it's just as much about him as it is about tony spilotro. i've seen interviews with frank cullotta and don't care much for him. the book "the enforcer" is the story of tony spilotro and done very well and tells his story in much more detail and is a much more informitive look at his life. if the book "the enforcer" was on audio it would be a great listen and much better than this. it was worth a try but dissapointing. plus listening to the reading "the prformance" was not enjoyable at all to say the least. i wouldn't want to listen to anything eles read by this person.

A very well written book
I found this book to be very well written & above all easy to follow, I was also impressed with the amount of new stories that it shed light on as well as some of the more well known murders etc it also went into details about a lot less known cases that I had never read about before.
All in all I was extremely impressed all round & would highly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in this genre...
