This Saturday, March 19,  we are having a “Sit Down with the Mob” at the Royal House in Las Vegas, Nevada.   Joining in on the Sit Down will be Frank Cullotta, Henry Hill and Andrew DeDonato.  Plus my friend from Crimewire, Vito Colucci .

Cost is $20 and includes two free drinks.  Hear their stories only the way they can tell it.  Feel the pain and the energy in their answers.  Warning, they do answer in their language… No sugar coating…. Plenty of opportunities to get your mob fix and your questioned answered by the people who lived what we only see in the movies.

Join Henry Hill, the original GoodFella, former Chicago Outfit associate and Tony Spilotro’s Las Vegas lieutenant Frank Cullotta, former Gambino crime family associate Andrew DiDonato, renowned private investigator Vito Colucci, and yours truly, for what promises to be a fun night.

Surviving the Mob Surges

The newly released organized crime book co-authored by Denny Griffin and Andrew DiDionato is enjoying great numbers in Amazon’s Organized Crime category in both the paperback and Kindle versions. It is consistently ranked as a top seller.

This  discussions will focus on what led to living a life of crime, the decision to leave that kind of life behind, protecting family and loved ones during the transition, and moving forward.

Andrew DiDonato worked for the Genovese and Gambino crime families in New York who later became a government informant and wrote the book Surviving The Mob which was later turned into a confessional style documentary film;  Dennis Griffin penned several fiction & nonfiction books about organized crime including The Battle For Las Vegas, Policing Las Vegas, and Cullotta; plus a visit with special guest Mayor Oscar Goodman as he reminisces about his legal eagle days representing Mob kingpins.

The Mob Museum is scheduled to open in 2011 and a presentation of mob related items will be donated to Mayor Goodman on behalf of the Museum in an onstage ceremony.

The presentations are in the main theater and are free and open to the public. Everything begins at 7pm

This discussions will revolve around heavyweights from organized crime families in New York, New Jersey and Chicago who ended up in Las Vegas, what it was like turning on the Mob and working for the government, plus Hollywood memories from the Martin Scorsese movies Casino and Goodfellas.

Frank Cullotta of the Chicago Mob participated in the original Hole In The Wall Gang that pulled off the most notorious heist in Las Vegas and was mob technical advisor on the movie Casino;

Andrew DiDonato worked for the Genovese & Gambino crime families in New York who later became a government informant and produced a documentary movie about his criminal life ; Dennis Griffin penned Cullotta, a biographical expose about Frank Cullotta’s life of crime;

East Coast ex-mobster Henry Hill got the Hollywood treatment when his life story of working for the Lucchese crime family was portrayed by actor Ray Liotta in Goodfellas; and actor Craig Vincent played the cowboy who wouldn’t take his boots off the table in Casino and was also a technical advisor/stuntman for the movie.

Also,  The Mob Museum is scheduled to open in 2011 and a presentation of mob related items will be donated to curator Kathleen Hickey Barrie on behalf of the Museum in an onstage ceremony.

Books and merchandise by DiDonato, Griffin & Hill will be available for purchase and signing after the presentation.
