Its. Great word for it. The mob may be gone, but organized crime is alive and well on the strip. The prostitution rings that are now prominent in most casinos with nightclubs are largely fronts for violent, high end robbery rings.

And, a new twist, rings of modern pickpockets who target cell phones in crowded nightclubs. Ford really good pickpockets, and theyre really coordinated. You might feel a bump and you look down and your phone is gone. Teams of 5 or more thieves will hit a club and walk out with as many as 40 cell phones in a night. Ford absolutely its organized crime. They fly out here for the sole purpose of doing that.
