Yeah, the two families with a Jewish influence amongst the top ranks were basically Chicago and the Genovese. After the Feds declared war on the Outfit (the Outfit, particularly guys like Giancana and Marcello, who made an enemy of Bobby Kennedy got it REALLY bad...) the genovese kind of picked up the pieces...

You are right, Cleveland to my knowledge had points in the Vegas skim, but their vote on the commission went through the Genovese.

I was always fascinated by the politics there.
