Cullotta moved to Las Vegas and he recruited a relocated New Jersey mobster named Ernie Davino and Chicago Outfit associates Wayne Mateki, Leo Guardino and Larry Newman. Tony Spilotro added an ex Las Vegas Metro cop named Joe Blasko. These men created havoc in the Las Vegas burglarizing jewelry stores, fur boutiques, and the homes of the wealthy. They committed murders for hire, robbed drug dealers and pimps, and loan sharked. They became the Chicago Outfit crew in Las Vegas by 1981.
