Anthony Spilotro was a mafia enforcer who worked in Las Vegas in the 1970's and 1980's. It is generally thought his job was to protect the "skim", the mafia's illegal casino profits, and to keep local criminals from upsetting the status quo within Las Vegas.
Spilotro allegedly tried to become a mob boss in his own right, but was brutally murdered, supposedly by the Chicago mob, though the case is officially unsolved.
Joe Pesci's character in the film Casino is based on Spilotro.
