i've worked at a few casinos in vegas and my older coworkers would tell me how much better the mob took care of the employees compared to the modern corporations that run everything now. free steak dinners after your shift, bonuses on good nights, good pay, light work. sounded nice.

the only bonus I ever got from a casino was when they lost a class action suit about stealing wages.

I think of the mob vs venture capital sorta like how I think of national bourgeois vs international bourgeois. They were local to Vegas and so had incentive to make sure it kept running smoothly, venture capital that runs it now only cares that money comes in, workers be damned.
