#1 Organized crime eventually was driven out of Las Vegas in the 1970s and '80s by the FBI, local police and prosecutors, state crackdowns and hotel purchases by corporate interests.

Uh-huh...

#3 The Mafias, etc were weakened vv RICO Act which gener put the burden on personages to prove they were NOT mafiosi nor engaged in illegal or criminal acts, RICO also gave the Feds, etc. wider powers + longer lead times to investigate and confiscate any and all assets, direct or indirect, used in mafia activities = being investigated for mafia activties. It doesn't matter anymore under RICO how many times an asset is legally or deceptively sold or resold to avoid investigation = prosecution - RICO gives the Feds authority to confiscate it anyway. "I HAVE A LAWYER(S)" may no longer matter becuz, broadly-speaking, RICO > the Feds may assume that one's attorneys are part of the mafia activity, and not just a narrow-scope legal defender. THE FEDS EXPECT MAFIOSI, ETC. TO DO ANYTHING, EVERYTHING TO PROTECT THEMSELVES LEGALLY = USE LEGAL COVER.

Lastly, it didn't help the Mafias that the younger generations seemingly don't have the patience, extensive networks, personal and other group skills or protective "ethics" that their predecessors did, i.e. prefer to betray, destroy, or otherwise sell each other out than work together or protect each other???

THE MSM, POLS, AND ACTIVISTS, INCLUDING MANY LEFTIES, WILL PC RAIL IN ANGER AT ELEX TIME AGZ RICO IN THE NAME OF NATURAL/CIVIL RIGHTS BUT IN REALITY DO LITTLE OR ANYTHING TO STOP IT. Iff anything, RICO and related legislations have been EMPOWERED, NOT WEAKENED.
