Summary[edit]

Description

Starting in the 1950s the Chicago Outfit started moving in on Las Vegas casinos. One of the properties in which they eventually had ownership was Circus Circus.

When the casino suffered financially from not having an attached hotel, owner Jay Sarno acquired a $23 million loan from the Teamsters' Union. Part of the deal was that a jewelry gift shop be given to Anthony "The Ant" Spilotro, a Chicago Outfit enforcer who would become the main Outfit man in Las Vegas. The shop was located just off the midway. Spilotro used it as a base of operations for his burglary crew, The Hole In The Wall Gang.

In 1974 the ownership was changed.

Located at 2880 S. Las Vegas Blvd, Winchester, NV.
